Visit, chat, share & touched...
We visit the elderly who live alone in 2 blocks of one-room flats. Currently, we have 9 elderly who are participating in this programme. We chat with them and help them to do simple house chores. We also provide painting services for the elderly where volunteers will come together and give our elderly homes a fresh new look! We also introduce simple interactive games to our elderly. Through the activities, we share special moments together and make our Saturday worthwhile.
Besides, we also have special activities during special occasions such as Chinese New Year where we spent the time together to make lanterns to decorate elderly homes. Not good at arts? Don't worry, the most valuable thing required in this programme is your passion. Our elderly look forward to each visit and often, they expect little more than a listening ear.
What's in store...
We're organizing an outing for the senior citizens of TOUCH Senior Activity Centre this May- June period. It will be a great opportunity for us to mingle around with the elderly other than our regular 9 elderly. We also aim to make each visit a meaningful experience for our volunteers by implementing service learning. Workshops will also be held throughout the year. Do check it out!
Quotes from volunteers
"At TOUCH, we're constantly surprised by the spontaneity of the elderly, from the 'robust' Mr Chiu who helped us paint his house to the animated Mdm Lim who enetertained us with her very own True Singapore Ghost Stories! -Denise Seow-
"After being in Touch Seniors for the past 1 year plus, I have learnt not just how there are people less fortunate than me, but also, most importantly, how they cope with it with a smile on their face, and warmth in their hearts. Love spreads from us to them, but hope, the hope of life, spreads from them to us" -Yong Chuan-
Come Join Us!
Our visits are on alternate Saturday from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm. The meeting point is the TOUCH Seniors Activity Centre (TSAC) in Block 61 Geylang Bahru. The nearest MRT station is Kallang MRT Station.
