A New Dawn for CaringSG: Reflections and Hopes for 2025
Today, the new dawn of 2025 brings new joy and hope for CaringSG.
CaringSG and Centre for Fathering organised a family bonding event for 45 participants from 12 special needs families at the Singapore Discovery Centre.
Families enjoyed activities such as Amazing Race, Black Laser Battlefield, Free & Easy Pedal Boat Ride, and XD Ride. There was also a talk on fathers’ roles in special needs caregiving by Centre of Fathering.
This event was supported by two CAREkakis, one CAREchampion, and 12 CAREambassadors (three William Blair CSR volunteers, 3 student volunteers and 5 youth volunteers), together with four CaringSG staff and volunteers.
Special thanks to our supporters Centre For Fathering, the Enabling Lives Initiative Grant by SG Enable and Tote Board, Temasek Foundation, and Boon Lay CCC!

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.
