On 26 September 2025, our enthusiastic team of volunteers participated in the CSR programme – Neighbour Care Patrol, organized by the Loving Heart Multi-Services Center. This meaningful initiative was dedicated to supporting vulnerable and isolated seniors within the Jurong East community.
Our volunteers were divided into small groups, with each covering approximately 20–25 home units. Our mission was to observe, identify, and report any signs of distress or potential hazards within the assigned areas- ensuring the safety and well-being of our elderly neighbours.
The experience was both heartwarming and inspiring, reminding us of the importance of community care and our shared responsibility to look out for one another. It also gave our team a wonderful opportunity to reconnect outside work and strengthen our bonds through a shared purpose.
Together, through our compassion, commitment and teamwork, we made a meaningful difference in the lives of others!
