Non-profit organisation Industrial & Services Co-Operative Society (ISCOS) launched its new IPC-approved ISCOS ReGen Fund at its 30th anniversary charity gala dinner at Marina Mandarin Singapore last month.

Society friends such as Sammi Lim, Jade Kua and June Rin were among those in attendance to show their support to the organisation, which benefits children and families of reformed offenders in Singapore.

Guests savoured a menu curated by chef Benny Se Teo, who is a reformed drug addict himself. He also founded social enterprise Eighteen Chefs, a restaurant chain that hires at-risk youth and ex-convicts. Benny showed off his skills that evening, with an electric guitar performance and accompanied by music producer Clement Chow.

ISCOS ambassador and hip-hop artist Masia One, and singer-songwriters Inch Chua and Sara Wee also contributed to the night's entertainment with their own tunes.

Former drug addict Barry Yeow, who is now a professional artist and Yellow Ribbon mentor, offered his painting titled Stand in the Gap during the silent auction where proceeds went towards the new launched charity fund.
