How do you plan for a fun bonding time with your loved ones?
Our families in Boon Lay and a few from different parts of Singapore gathered at Jurong Lake Garden on 19 March 2022 for a trishaw ride. Kudos to the great weather, everyone enjoyed the breeze and greenery, got close to nature, and most important of all, have a bonding session with their loved ones.
Our fellow caregivers managed to network, exchange contacts, and share their experiences with each other too.
A family even spotted the ice-cream uncle during their ride and decided to make their way for their cool down session with ice-cream for all!
The trishaw ride is definitely not an everyday moment for the families. The smiles and positive feedback from the session are priceless and are looking forward to more of such engagement in the future.
Heartfelt thanks to Cycling Without Age Singapore for their support to bring on a brand new experience, fun and fond memories to our residents. Not forgetting the youth volunteers, CAREkakis and Boon Lay Grassroots Leaders for their engagement activities too.

CaringSG is grateful to be part of the Purple Parade again in 2024! We marched with a contingent of more than 100 people, and showcased caregiver programmes, services and support groups at our booth.
“The theme today is “Uplift Caregivers, Uplift Community,” because we don’t just want caregivers to do well; we also want the community to be strong. The reason why caregivers chip in is that we are building the community, not just for ourselves, but for our children and future generations.”
CaringSG’s inaugural Family Day took place on 7th September 2024, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Enabling Village. This special event, in partnership with Enabling Village, Singapore’s first inclusive community space, brings together the public, caregivers, persons with disabilities and their supporters for a day filled with learning, connection, and memorable experiences.
“We are stronger together. Whether it’s joining a support group, marching side by side in the Purple Parade, sharing the healing power of a journal, or simply being there for each other, every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to a more compassionate and resilient community.”
“CaringSG be focusing on providing you more support for mental health and financial resilience—whether it’s self-care, planning for the future, exploring career options, or simply ensuring you have someone to talk to when things get tough.”
