Our Team
A Good Space is a co-operative set up by changemakers for changemakers. We are a group of passionate humans who care about diverse social issues and believe in creating positive change, together.
Committee of Management
Akin to the Board of Directors in a charity, the Committee of Management (COM) are elected by our members to care for the strategic and governance aspects of the co-operative.

Daniel Tay
Membership Experience Lead

Some of these projects include writing books, giving two TEDx talks, co-founding communities that apply the principles of freeganism (Freegan in Singapore, SG Food Rescue) and even raising the issue of food waste in Parliament.
