Play = fun? Play is also how children learn to connect with the world!

In today’s busy, screen-filled lives, children have fewer chances to interact naturally. Yet skills like empathy, self-control, and cooperation grow best through everyday human moments – and through play.

This June, in celebration of the International Day of Play (11 June), we invite you and your child to try the Community Play Challenge.

Turn everyday spaces — playgrounds, lift lobbies, neighbourhood walks — into simple moments of connection.

Swipe for ideas you can try together 💛

Most people think deadlifting is for athletes and bodybuilders only. Esther’s experience shows it is also for seniors fighting frailty.

After the 65-year-old took part in a deadlift training programme, she built back her strength, regained mobility, and found a spring in her step again.

Care Corner Seniors Services is committed to helping seniors move with confidence and live with strength through its strength training and frailty management programmes.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 💐

This “thank you” goes out to all kinds of mums ❤️
To every mum looking after their families each day.
To single mums who carry so much strength.  To the homemaker mums who turns houses into homes.  To the grandmothers whose love stretches across generations.  To the mums who volunteer and selflessly bless others.  To the mums-to-be waiting excitedly to meet their little one.  To the foster mums and stepmums who chose to love with open arms.  And to everyone who has ever stepped into the role of a mother figure for someone else – your care, sacrifice and love does not go unappreciated.

Sometimes, it’s hard to find the right words to say out loud. So here are a few love notes you can send to the mums in your life to appreciate them today, and every day! 💌

𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 💪⚡

20 seniors achieved their deadlift personal bests at our Lift Strong event on 25 April! 156 fellow seniors across 9 of our Active Ageing Centres, along with our senior participants’ families and friends, also came down to cheer them on too! 🥳

Across 3 rounds of progressively heavier lifts, many participants challenged their limits to achieve their personal bests, with the heaviest lift reaching an incredible 80kg, and some like Mdm Cho who lifted more than her own weight! 👏

As part of our mission to prevent and reverse frailty, we engage our seniors in deadlifting. While deadlifting is often associated with gyms and athletes, it is also a highly functional movement that helps seniors build strength and stability for everyday tasks such as carrying groceries, gardening, and moving household items.

Many of our seniors first joined with mobility or health challenges, but can now go about their daily lives with far more confidence and independence than before.

Beyond the showcase, the event also featured a range of fun activity stations that kept our seniors engaged:
⚽ Drone soccer with Association of Drone Soccer Singapore
🏃 Senior-friendly parkour demonstrations led by Movement SG .sg
🥗 Healthy living habits and diet tips shared by Health Promotion Board
🎯 Active game stations including beanbag toss and floorball

To recognise their hard-won achievements, all participants received a medal and token of appreciation 🏅

A huge congratulations to all our seniors for showing us what true dedication looks like, and proving that strength training has no age limit ❤️

Share this with a senior or gym-goer you know! 😉

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝟱! 🎂

To mark Care Corner’s 45th anniversary, students from our Student Care Centres folded origami hearts and penned down 45 wishes for themselves, their families, and the world 💫

These paper hearts filled with our young ones‘ hopes and aspirations were presented to our Patron and Guest-of-Honour, Minister Chan Chun Sing (chanchunsing.sg) at our Uplift for Life Ruckathon 2026, which kickstarted our 45th anniversary celebrations!

Since 1981, Care Corner has journeyed along individuals and families through various seasons of their lives. From our humble beginnings to today with 46 service points across Singapore, we now support more than 28,000 service users annually — always with care at the heart of what we do.

45 years on, these wishes serve as a meaningful reminder of the lives and hope at the heart of all that we do. They reflect the journey we’ve been part of, and the future we continue to build together. 💖

Here’s to many more years of care, hope, and impact! Stay tuned as we share more upcoming events and initiatives in celebration of Care Corner’s 45th anniversary 👀

🎙️𝗖𝗡𝗔 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 “𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀”

We’re proud to share a recent Channel NewsAsia radio interview featuring our Outstanding Social Work Awards (Practice Research) recipients, Michelle Wong and Valencia Ng.

Through a deeply insightful conversation, they unpack how their research helps us better understand complex community needs. Both works have been translated into practical frameworks used by our frontline social workers, demonstrating how research meaningfully shapes the way we serve.

🔍 Michelle’s research on “Building Pathways to Potential” highlights adolescence as a critical developmental window, influencing the kind of conditions we provide to tap on youths’ tremendous capacity for growth.

🔍 Valencia’s study on “Leaving is Just the Start of Ending the Relationship” sheds light on the complex decisions women face after leaving abusive relationships, allowing us to help them better address challenges that arise post-separation.

💡 This interview explains why at Care Corner, we believe investing into practice research is essential. Amidst an ever-changing social landscape, it ensures our approaches remain relevant and grounded in the lived realities of those we support.

To everyone who was a part of Care Corner Uplift for Life Ruckathon 2026 – we did it!! 🤩

Whether you donated, volunteered, or simply showed up to ruck with us, you helped us create real impact. Thanks to your incredible support, we are proud to share that we’ve raised more than $1.08 million, surpassing our goal of $1 million! 🥳🚀

Every dollar raised goes directly towards supporting preventive and developmental programmes that help break cycles of poverty, mental health challenges, frailty and social isolation. By giving, you help us uplift the lives of others in need 🙌

Beyond the numbers, our Ruckathon brought our Care Corner community together to enjoy an unforgettable day together. Relive the memories with our Ruckathon highlights video that captures all the fun and excitement of the event! 🎥🔥

On 16 April 2026 at Toa Payoh West CC, more than 350 seniors from our 9 Active Ageing Centres (AAC) came together for a heartwarming day of inter-racial and inter-generational celebration—marking the last day of Hari Raya with a blast! 💚

We were honoured to have Mr Saktiandi Supaat join us as our Guest of Honour, as our seniors took centre stage with moving poetry and a delightful bells ensemble from AAC TP170. The energy continued with lively performances by the TPWCC Malay Dance Group—getting many on their feet and smiling along! 💃

Beyond the performances, the celebration came alive at our Hari Raya Bazaar, where young volunteers from .gongjiao and ran games and activities that brought seniors and youth together. A crowd favourite? 🚀⚽ Drone soccer by —many of our seniors tried something completely new for the very first time!

A big thank you to our staff and partners, NTUC Health, SPD, Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities, and OCBC, for making this celebration so meaningful. Here’s to community, connection, and celebrating together—across generations and cultures ❤️
