Our Blog

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.
