Today, on World Mental Health Day, we are reminded of the importance of caring for our mental and emotional well-being.

At the YMCA of Singapore, we believe in building a supportive and inclusive community where individuals feel seen, heard, and supported. Let us continue to show kindness, encourage meaningful conversations, and care for one another.

🥾 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟑𝟔𝐊𝐌: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐭!🥾

Over the past few months, our Club LITE youths and their caregivers have been lacing up on Saturdays to conquer some of Singapore’s toughest trails.

From navigating the rugged terrain at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to testing their balance on the MacRitchie TreeTop Walk and building endurance across the city, every step has been about building coordination, confidence, and teamwork.

Now, all this training leads to one massive goal: a 36km journey from One Punggol to Jurong Lake Gardens.

Mental wellness: make space for yourself 💙

This October, let’s make time to check in with ourselves. When life gets busy, even a small pause can make a difference.

Here are a few simple ways to make time for yourself:

🌿 Take a breather
Step away from your screen and enjoy a quiet moment at the Y Terrace or Pool Terrace.

💬 Connect with someone
Reach out to a friend, family member or someone you trust. You don’t have to navigate difficult moments alone.

😌 Make time to unwind
Take a break from the everyday and enjoy some downtime at YMCA @ One Orchard.

💙 Give your time
Connect with others and make a difference by volunteering for activities at YMCA.

Mental wellness is also about making time for yourself, connecting with others and finding moments that help you feel refreshed.

Take a pause. Check in with yourself. Make space for what matters. 💙

Every voice has a story to tell. 🎤

On 22 September, we celebrated our young speakers at the 39th YMCA Plain English Speaking Awards (PESA) Awards Presentation Ceremony, with Dr Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Education & Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment as our Guest of Honour.

Behind every confident speech were months of preparation, and the teachers, parents and mentors who cheered them on.

Congratulations to all our winners, finalists and educators. Keep speaking honestly, thoughtfully and in your own words.

More than a competition, YMCA PESA is a platform for young people to discover their voices and express their ideas.

🌕🥮 From mould to box to our YMCA community!

Last week, our Members’ Services Team came together with YMCA members and staff for a hands-on mooncake-making session in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

From mixing and moulding to packing their creations, it was a lovely evening of learning, laughter and festive cheer. ❤️

And the best part? The mooncakes they made were shared with seniors at the Y! Makan fellowshiiip the following day, adding a little extra sweetness to the celebration.

A meaningful way to celebrate, connect and share the joy of the season, one mooncake at a time! ✨

“Give him a chance. He can.” – Lucy, Ek Jin’s Mother

For Ek Jin, that opportunity came through YMCA’s Train and Place programme. Today, he works at YMCA @ One Orchard as a housekeeping attendant, growing in confidence and independence.
Inspired by her son's journey, Lucy became more active too. She now volunteers with YMCA of Singapore and joins YMCA Club LITE’s Y Nature Hike on Saturdays.

Inclusion is not just about giving someone a place. It is about creating the opportunity to contribute, grow and belong.

This October, Lucy and Ek Jin will be walking 36km for YMCA Inclusive Challenge - Nature & Nurture: Coast-to-Coast Trail.

Their story can start yours.
