The Collective works to nurture and develop a community of artists and makers with disabilities to showcase their talent and strengthen their abilities in artisanal fields. This multi-sectoral platform comprises partners in the people, public and private sectors who, together with persons with disabilities, are motivated to collaborate and contribute towards the development of a viable market for quality merchandise that is created by persons with disabilities, supporting their meaningful vocation.

Its network of social, government, corporate and enterprise partners enables it to harness expertise and resources to bring about strategic opportunities for persons with disabilities, and to enable an inclusive Singapore.
