CaringSG is grateful to be part of the Purple Parade again! 
 
We celebrated the amazing abilities of caregivers by showcasing the 20 plus CaringSG Alliance Network (CAN) caregiver support groups set up by caregiver leaders at our Wall of Support, and promoting the CAREcottage businesses run by caregivers and their dependants at our booth.
 
At our Wall of Strength, visitors wrote many heartfelt words of encouragement to show their appreciation and care for caregivers. Visitors could also purchase a CAREcottage product handmade by caregivers and their dependants.
 
With support from more than 100 people, including caregivers from Bukit Batok East, led by the CAREkaki@BBE, and also our CAREkaki@Boon Lay, William Blair’s CAREambassadors, and caregivers from multiple CAN support groups, the CaringSG Contingent marched to show our solidarity and support for inclusion of persons with disabilities, their caregivers and families.
 
Thank you to everyone who showed your support in person and also in spirit!
 
Please enjoy the event photos on our Facebook and we look forward to seeing you at the next Purple Parade!
