Established in July 2017, Extra•Ordinary People is a Singapore-registered charity and Institution of Public Character (IPC) which holistically supports persons with special needs while striving for an inclusive society through family-centred and community-supported initiatives.
We call ourselves Extra•Ordinary People because we are all ordinary people who make the conscious decision to go the extra mile. The dot between “Extra” and “Ordinary” in our logo symbolises the heart required to make a difference. The colours in the word “Extra” represent diversity and inclusivity.
