Clubs and Societies in Singapore

Expats from all over the world live in Singapore, and there are plenty of organisations and clubs to help bring them together. New arrivals in Singapore can expect to live a busy social life, although many activities come at a price in this expensive city-state.

There are various options available to expats looking for sports, social, cultural and recreational clubs in Singapore. There are also societies organised by nationality, and families are well catered for. For many expats, these social groups become a sort of home away from home.

Club membership in Singapore

On the surface, Singapore may seem similar to the West. But there is still some culture shock for expats to overcome, and belonging to a club or society can ease the transition. Here is a list of some of the most popular clubs in Singapore.

American Women's Association of Singapore (AWA)

Open to women of all nationalities, AWA is a volunteer-run social organisation whose mission is to bring together women with common interests through activities and events. It organises social and special interest activities and events, as well as sports and tours.
