Dear Caregivers and Families, Partners, and Friends of CaringSG,
As we come to the close of this wonderful day, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for making CaringSG Family Day 2024 such a special and meaningful event. Before we part ways, I’m excited to share a few important events that are coming up in the next few months.
On 12 October 2024, CaringSG will be proudly participating in the Purple Parade—Singapore’s largest movement to support inclusion and celebrate the abilities of persons with special needs.
At our booth, we’re thrilled to feature the support groups under CaringSG Alliance Network, which caregivers can be matched to.
We welcome you to join our Purple Parade contingent to showcase the strength and unity of our community.
In addition to that, we’ll be raising funds through the sale of handmade items from our CAREcottage initiative. These items, crafted with love and care by our caregivers, symbolize the resilience and creativity that define our community. I invite all of you to join us at Suntec City on that day.
Looking ahead to 1 December 2024, we’ll be launching something very close to our hearts—the CAREforward Healing Journal.
Written and designed by two special needs caregivers, the Healing Journal is designed to be a companion for caregivers on their journey, offering a space for reflection, self-care, encouragement, and hope.
But there’s more. As we launch the Healing Journal, we are encouraging each of you to “care-it-forward.” Consider gifting the Healing Journal to another caregiver as an act of love and encouragement. This simple act of kindness can make a difference in the lives of the caregiver you bless.
So as we close today’s event, I want to leave you with this thought: We are stronger together.
Whether it’s joining a support group, marching side by side in the Purple Parade, sharing the healing power of a journal, or simply being there for each other, every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to a more compassionate and resilient community.
Thank you once again for being here today. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events, and until then, take care and continue to uplift each other.
Have a safe journey home, and see you soon!
CaringSG’s inaugural Family Day 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, brings together the public, caregivers, persons with disabilities and their supporters for a day filled with learning, connection, and memorable experiences.
“We are stronger together. Whether it’s joining a support group, marching side by side in the Purple Parade, sharing the healing power of a journal, or simply being there for each other, every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to a more compassionate and resilient community.”
“CaringSG be focusing on providing you more support for mental health and financial resilience—whether it’s self-care, planning for the future, exploring career options, or simply ensuring you have someone to talk to when things get tough.”
In 2024-2025, with support from SG Enable, and in collaboration with the Enabling Services Hubs by SG Enable and partners that aim to bring disability support closer to home, CaringSG will be setting up 10 CAREkaki chapters in 10 constituencies in Singapore.
CaringSG Limited is a charity led by caregivers to serve special needs caregivers and the community towards an inclusive and caring Singapore.
On 13 July 2024, CaringSG and volunteers from the Kallang Water Sports Centre organised a fun-filled afternoon on the Dragon Boat for 14 caregivers and 9 care recipients.
