Stories from our Community
Extending our Culture of Care and Hospitality
We progress further when we go together. Guided by Ascott CARES, our sustainability programme,
we seek to support the communities we operate in, enabling greater access to resources and opportunities for a better tomorrow.
Ascott Philippines has been collaborating with Gawad Kalinga (GK) since 2017 to advance their goal of alleviating poverty. One initiative under this partnership is the CapitaLand-Ascott GK Eco Village Food Shed Farming Enterprise Project – a joint effort between CapitaLand Hope Foundation, Ascott, Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) and GK. Under this programme, our associates visited GK villages to touch lives and lift spirits within the community by volunteering to teach, cook meals and organize activities such as exercise classes. In 2022, nine properties in Manila volunteered for the project and benefitted 20 families through their efforts.
Together with the Sony Foundation, the charitable arm of Sony Group of Companies operating in Australia, Quest Apartment Hotels has been running the 'You Can Stay' Programme since 2020 to alleviate the accommodation costs for youths seeking cancer treatment around Australia. In 2022, the property welcomed 110 young patients and their families, providing them with a total of 5,731 nights of complimentary accommodation under the initiative.
With a firm belief in empowering children from underprivileged backgrounds, Ascott Indonesia has been an avid supporter of SOS Children’s Village (Indonesia) since 2011. In 2022, Ascott Indonesia contributed IDR 2,450,000 and made in-kind donations to support the non-profit organisation’s operations.
