On 12 May 2024, CaringSG and the Singapore Paddle Club organised an inclusive event at Ola Beach Club, Sentosa — the Paddle & Clean Fest.
This exciting day brought together 19 caregivers and their family members, along with 8 dedicated volunteers from the Singapore Paddle Club and 3 CaringSG staff, for an event that combined outdoor fun with environmental consciousness.
The Paddle & Clean Fest wasn’t just about paddling; it was an opportunity for family bonding and inclusivity. Families worked together to carry the boats to sea and paddle in unison along Siloso Beach, competing in mini races and coasting under a large fountain!
What made this event even more special was the way it embraced individuals of all abilities — paddling could be adapted to suit different needs. The amazing volunteers taught caregivers and their family members the art of paddling and how to have a good, safe journey at sea.

This event is part of CaringSG’s CAREconnect programme, which provides opportunities for families to connect, engage and be empowered via inclusive, purposeful activities.
On 1 December 2024, CaringSG brought together caregivers, supporters, and the community for an inspiring day at the CAREforward event, held at the Punggol Regional Library.
Caregiving is a journey filled with dedication and love, and also sacrifice, pain and loneliness. At CaringSG, we believe in deepening our support for caregivers through meaningful programmes and services that cater to their needs and well-being.
CaringSG empowers caregivers with the knowledge and skills to support other caregivers through the Caregiver Volunteer Training (CVT) programme, which is funded by SG Enable.
We are gathered here today at the launch of The Healing Journal: A Caregiver’s Path to Self-Care and our CAREforward event, to celebrate the caregivers in our community.
The concept of CAREforward is a call to action for all of us to care-it-forward, empower and uplift one another.
CaringSG Limited is a charity led by caregivers to serve special needs caregivers and the community towards an inclusive and caring Singapore.
