Elderly Programme:

Some of the projects which were organised:

1. "Project Chinatown" was a Chinese New Year house visitation with about 500 volunteers that participated. They brought cheer to the elderly in Chinatown vicinity through house cleaning and New Year goodies.

2. Caring for the Aged Day was held at Kreta Ayer Community Centre. It brought smiles to 100 elderly with an afternoon of music and dance entertainment, delicious food and goodie packs.

Bright Home Programme:
A programme to meet the needs of lower income seniors living in 1-2 room rented flats in Chinatown. We will be working with the grassroots to befriend and organise activities for them. This is a project supported by Central Singapore CDC. We hope to brighten up the lives of the elderly and meet their physical and emotional needs, many of whom are left alone in their rented flats until volunteers visit them.

If you would like to be a Befriending Volunteer to serve the elderly in the various activities organised, commitment being one Sat morning/afternoon a month, please drop us a mail at office@hopecentre.org.sg

Children Programme:

Nurture Programme:
A reading and developmental programme to meet the mental, social and emotional need of Primary school students from dysfunctional or low income families living around Lengkok Bahru, Redhill.
