The inaugural CaringSG Family Day event, 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, brought together the public, caregivers, persons with disabilities and their supporters for a day filled with learning, connection, and memorable experiences.
It was made possible with funding by i’mable, SG Enable’s public education initiative, which celebrates the abilities of persons with disabilities and encourages more individuals to take positive action for disability inclusion and commit to building a more inclusive society and enabling lives.

“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.”
