Singapore Cheshire Home

On 12 September 2026, Singapore Cheshire Home celebrated Founder’s Day to honour our Founder, the Late Lord Leonard Cheshire. Many volunteers, staff, and Board members attended this important event to mark 69 years of his legacy. It was a short but meaningful celebration. We watched video clips of the history of our Founder and how Cheshire Home had its early beginning. Lord Cheshire simply responded to a call by offering his home as a shelter for an injured comrade. This led to opening doors to disabled people in various countries who needed care.

One of the highlights of the programme was a long-term resident, Yeo Chong Choo who shared about his time staying at SCH in Telok Paku and Changi Creek and now in Serangoon Garden Way. He also had the opportunity to meet Lord Cheshire when he visited our Home in Singapore in 1981. I too was asked to share my personal life story; I came to the Home at the early age of 13. I shared about how the Home helped me get ready for school even though I didn’t want to. But the staff and management did not give up on me and persevered. With my foundation built, I eventually progressed to tertiary education and earned a diploma in Animation & Game Design. I have my good days and bad days, but life still goes on.

A Special Early Mid-Autumn Celebration with ICHIGO.SG 一起购

I was very happy to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival a little earlier this year with my friends at Singapore Cheshire Home, thanks to the kindness and generosity of ICHIGO SG 一起购.

On 31 August, ICHIGO SG prepared a wonderful Mid-Autumn surprise for us, with delicious mooncakes, organic deep-rooted burdock tea, and beautiful wooden DIY lanterns. It was a lovely opportunity for us to come together to enjoy the festive atmosphere, and create happy memories.

I was pleasantly surprised by the mooncakes which were healthy and yet so tasty! We also enjoyed the refreshing organic deep-rooted burdock tea which went well with the mooncakes.

One of my favourite parts of the celebration was making the wooden DIY lanterns. It was fun to assemble the lanterns and watch them slowly take shape. Being able to create something with our own hands made the activity meaningful and gave us a sense of achievement. The beautiful wooden lanterns also brought out the festive spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The boxes that the mooncakes and tea came in were too beautiful to be thrown away. We reuse and repurpose them as storage boxes for our handicraft materials, giving them a second life.

Since then, ICHIGO SG has generously sponsored many healthy and tasty foodstuffs for us. One of the products that I personally enjoyed was the 3 Chickens Original Native Chicken Congee. Whenever I did not have much appetite, I could enjoy the congee because it was comforting and easy to eat. The nutritious black bean and soya bean beverages were also good, especially when we feel hungry late at night. The dried roselle and guava snacks were another thoughtful treat. These are healthier alternatives when we feel like having a snack and help us to avoid reaching for less healthy options. Although I could not take the supplements donated by ICHIGO SG due to my medical conditions, some of my friends at Singapore Cheshire Home found them beneficial.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank ICHIGO SG 一起购 for continuing to engage with us since our Fundraising Partnership with them which started on 13 February 2026. The support from ICHIGO SG means much more than the food and gifts we receive. It shows that they continue to think about our well-being and look for ways to bring happiness and meaningful experiences to us. This early Mid-Autumn celebration was a wonderful example. Bringing us healthy and delicious mooncakes and organic deep-rooted burdock tea and beautiful wooden DIY lanterns, brought smiles to our faces.

Thank you, once again ICHIGO SG 一起购, for your generosity, kindness, and continued support. Thank you for remembering us, engaging with us, and making our lives a little brighter through the thoughtful things you do.

I am grateful for the wonderful memories we have created together, and I hope we can continue to share many more meaningful moments in the future.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from all of us at Singapore Cheshire Home!

Did you know that here at SCH, we have a small and simple garden where everyone can relax and enjoy the beauty of orchids blooming all around us. We lovingly call it “Sensory Garden by the Bay” 😊🌸

This garden is the result of the creativity, teamwork, and dedication of our residents, who used recycled materials and natural methods to grow the orchids. Years ago, the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) gifted orchids to our residents. Many felt the orchids would not survive if kept indoors, so an idea bloomed!

With the help of our Healthcare Attendants, the orchid stems were carefully tied around the trees, patiently waiting for them to bloom beautifully. The residents even prepared their own fertiliser to help the orchids grow healthy and strong.

Besides NCSS, we also received orchids from one of our Daycare clients and from Mrs Vivien Loh, our Beneficiaries Care Committee Member.

Every morning, the sight of these orchids brings a sense of peace and happiness. I once shared photos with my cousin, and he asked, “Where is this place?” I proudly replied, “Sensory Garden by the Bay!” 🌿✨

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making this little garden so special.
