这个月的线上讲座"慈悲于行—义工在心灵关怀中的角色"深受启发。梁医生用五蕴框架系统地阐释灵性痛苦,帮助我们更深层理解患者与照护者的心灵需求。从身体到心理,从个人角色到人生意义,每一步都充满意义。感恩梁医生的慷慨分享,让我们的义工服务更有针对性与温度。💙

This month's fireside chat 'Compassion in Action: A Volunteer’s Role in Spiritual Support' was truly inspiring. Dr. Neo Han Yee systematically explained spiritual suffering using the Five Aggregates framework, helping us better understand the spiritual needs of patients and caregivers. From the physical body to the mind, from personal roles to life’s meaning, every step was filled with practical insight.

Grateful for Dr. Neo's generous sharing, which brings greater understanding and warmth to the work of compassionate communities. 💙

Sometimes, Hope Arrives with a Mahjong Set.

Every visit is a reminder: You are not alone.

When TCN Volunteers visit Mr Ng, they don’t just come to play mahjong. They bring something far more meaningful: Time, Friendship and Joy.

Living with serious illness has changed many parts of Mr Ng’s life. But when the mahjong tiles are laid out, his face lights up. He laughs, jokes and concentrates on every move. For a little while, illness takes a back seat, replaced by connection and happiness.

TCN had the joy of celebrating Mr Ng’s 90th birthday with him. It was a simple but meaningful moment, another reminder that birthdays, laughter and shared moments are worth celebrating.

For his daughter, Eileen, these visits are equally precious. As the primary caregiver for both her elderly parents, the responsibilities can feel overwhelming. Our volunteers offer her a listening ear, companionship and a reminder that she doesn’t have to walk this journey alone.

Sometimes, support looks like a conversation.
Sometimes, it looks like simply being there.
And sometimes, it looks like a game of mahjong.

These moments may seem small, but to a patient and caregiver, they can mean the world.

Join us as a TCN Volunteer and bring a little more joy and companionship to someone’s day. Your time and presence can mean more than you realise. https://www.tcn.sg/volunteer

A Night of Respite & Connection

A heartfelt thank you to our partners , .wills and Advance Planning Pte Ltd for providing complimentary tickets for our caregivers and volunteers to enjoy a special screening of Dear Me.

For caregivers, finding time for themselves can often be challenging. Going for a movie is a rare opportunity for them to step away from their caregiving responsibilities, take a breather, and simply enjoy an evening out.

The Teochew-language film created a sense of connection and familiarity, making the evening especially meaningful for our caregivers.

“The main character in the movie took care of a family she hasn’t met in person, and silently, without fanfare. That’s what resonated with me.” shared Mr Lee, a TCN volunteer who shares the value of looking out for others and doing good.

Bereaved caregiver Joanne also shared her experience as a caregiver for both her parents spanning a total period of nine years, and the audience applauded her for her devotion. She also encouraged everyone to live well, and committed to living well, in the days ahead.

We believe that caring for caregivers is just as important as caring for those they look after. Respite may be a small pause, but sometimes, that pause is exactly what a caregiver needs to recharge and continue their journey.

Thank you to all who attended to make this a heart warming evening.

Happy National Day, Singapore!

As we celebrate Singapore's 61st birthday, we are reminded that our nation's greatest strength lies in its people: our neighbours, volunteers, partners, and community who come together to care for one another.

At TCN, we believe that no one should face life's challenges alone. Through the dedication of our volunteers, we support caregivers and families, foster meaningful connections, and build a caring, inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

This National Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our volunteers, partners, and supporters who journey with us to make a difference every day. Your kindness, compassion, and commitment continue to inspire hope and strengthen our community.

Together, let's continue to build a Singapore where everyone is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to give back.

Interested in making a difference? Join us as a volunteer and be part of creating a stronger, more connected community. Sign up via this link: https://www.tcn.sg/volunteer

This National Day, let’s honour the generation who built our Singapore.

They worked hard, raised families, built communities, and laid the foundation for the home we proudly share today.

Today, many of them are living with serious illness, frailty, and the challenges of ageing. But living well is still possible — through comfort, connection, dignity, and moments of meaning shared with the people they love.

At The Compassionate Network, we support seniors, family caregivers, and loved ones in ways that help them live well, even in the midst of illness and caregiving. From home visits and outings to special celebrations, grief support, and practical care, we walk alongside families so they can hold on to joy, togetherness, and hope.

Your donation can help create these moments of living well. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps bring relief, warmth, and compassionate support to families who need it most.

· $50 supports materials used during meaningful home visit activities.

· $100 funds one wheelchair-accessible transport trip for a senior.

· $200 supports legacy-building experiences, family celebrations, and caregiving aids.

· $1,500 helps provide a family with a year of home visits, outings, special occasions, and grief and bereavement support.

This year, through our "With You All The Way – Living Well" fundraising campaign, we hope to reach even more families facing the challenges of serious illness.

50% of every eligible donation will be matched through the Tote Board Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme, helping your gift go even further. As TCN is an Institution of a Public Character (IPC), eligible donations are also tax deductible.

This National Day, let’s celebrate not only how our seniors helped build Singapore, but how we can help them and their caregivers continue to live well with dignity, love, and support.

💛 Building thoughtful care around real lives.

"I didn't expect something so simple to make me feel so cared for." Those were the words caregiver Mdm Toh shared after receiving TCN Caregiving Care Kit.

Behind every caregiver is someone who quietly puts another person's needs before theirs. They spend countless hours caring, comforting & giving, often forgetting to care for themselves.

That's why every TCN Caregiving Care Kit is thoughtfully personalised. Alongside practical essentials like nutrition drinks, healthy nuts, muscle ache rub, Vitamin C and a magnetic fridge memo pad with emergency contact, we take time to understand each caregiver’s needs. Because every caregiving journey is different, every care kit is too.

Each care kit carries one simple message: while you're caring for someone else, someone is caring for you too.

Caregiver Mdm Toh shared:
"I never imagined a simple pillow could make such a difference. The custom-made buckwheat pillow from TCN has become something my mum uses every day. She places it behind her when her back aches, hugs it while she rests, and sometimes uses it to support her legs. It comforts her and me too. Every time I see her using it, I'm reminded that someone cared enough to make both our journeys a little easier.”

For Mdm Juliana, it was a tube of eczema cream that touched her heart:
"When I opened the Caregiving Care Kit and saw my prescribed eczema cream, I was so touched. It's only available at a pharmacy I don't usually visit, I couldn't believe TCN had taken the time to find out what I actually use. It wasn't just about the cream; it was knowing that someone had listened, remembered & truly cared."

Sometimes it's not the big gestures that leave the deepest impact. It's the little things that remind someone they are seen, remembered and cared for.

Thanks to for integrated care - aic singapore, pharma pte ltd and balm Singapore for generously sponsoring items for our Caregiving Care Kits. Your kindness brings comfort, encouragement & practical support to caregivers every day.

To every caregiver, we hope these care kits remind you that you are seen, appreciated & never alone. 💛

"You don't feel so alone in life when you know someone is there for you."

That is something Albert Tan has come to believe after years of volunteering with The Compassionate Network.

Since joining TCN in 2023, Albert has been journeying alongside families caring for loved ones with serious illness. Through regular home visits, heartfelt conversations over a cup of tea and simply showing up, he has seen how the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference.

One moment, in particular, has stayed with him.
"A caregiver once told me, 'Thank you for coming. You're the only visitor I've had this month.' I'll never forget those words."

Albert recalls supporting one family who had spent years caring for an elderly. The caregiver rarely left the house and often felt exhausted and isolated. Visit after visit, Albert was there to listen without judgement, offering a listening ear and gentle encouragement. As trust grew, so did the caregiver's confidence to share not only the struggles, but also the little moments of hope along the way.

"Sometimes people don't need us to solve their problems," Albert says. "They just need someone willing to sit with them and listen."

What makes Albert's journey even more special is that he shares it with his wife, who also volunteers with TCN. Together, they have quietly touched the lives of many families while inspiring others to step forward and serve. It was this spirit of building connections, mentoring new volunteers and bringing people together that earned Albert TCN's Super Networker Award last year.

For Albert, volunteering isn't about doing something extraordinary. "It's about showing up consistently. When someone knows they haven't been forgotten, it can mean the world."

💙 If Albert's story has inspired you, we'd love to have you join our volunteer family. Together, we can bring companionship, hope and support to caregivers and their loved ones.

💛 Behind every patient is someone quietly carrying the weight of care.

A husband caring for his wife.
A daughter juggling work and caring for her ageing parent.
A son putting his own dreams on hold to be there for a loved one.

Family caregivers give their time, strength and love every single day, often without asking for anything in return. Yet, in caring for others, they can easily forget to care for themselves.

At The Compassionate Network (TCN), we believe caregivers deserve care too.
Through practical support, meaningful activities and moments of respite, we journey alongside caregivers, reminding them that they do not have to walk this path alone.

This year, through our "With You All The Way – Living Well" fundraising campaign, we hope to reach even more families facing the challenges of serious illness.

Thanks to the generous support of the Tote Board Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme, 50% of every eligible donation will be matched, allowing your gift to go even further in supporting caregivers and their loved ones.

As TCN is an Institution of a Public Character (IPC), eligible donations are also tax deductible.

Every act of kindness, no matter the amount, helps bring comfort, hope and compassion to families who need it most.

💛 Together, let's care for those who spend every day caring for others.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the first session of the TCN × MWS 3-Part Talk Series – Beyond Hospital: Understanding Home Care Services. ❤️ on 25 June 2026.

We are grateful for the participation and meaningful discussions shared by participants from healthcare and community organisations, as well as our dedicated volunteers, throughout the evening.

At TCN, we believe collaboration is key to building a stronger and more compassionate community. Through our partnership with .sg , we hope to equip caregivers, volunteers, and community workers with practical knowledge and resources to better support individuals living with serious illness.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to seeing you at our next session!

Today, let us cherish the fathers and father figures who have shaped our lives through their love, strength, and sacrifice.

This photo reminds me of my dad, who worked as a coolie at Raffles Quay in his younger days, carrying heavy loads under the hot sun to support our family and give us a better future.

As I grew older, I came to appreciate not only the weight he carried on his shoulders, but also the love and responsibility he carried in his heart.

To those whose fathers are still with them, cherish every moment. To those whose fathers live on in memory, may their love and legacy remain forever close to your heart.

— Fion, the daughter and the caregiver of her father
