Description of Organization

“Mission: To improve the quality of life for the elderly through the effective use of available resources; thereby fulfilling the “”ageing in place”” philosophy of Geylang East Home for the Aged.

Vision: To promote a community spirit of helping one another and encourage the extension of one’s love for their kith and kin, to the people and environment around them.

Core Programmes: Sheltered Home, Senior Care Centre & Active Ageing Centre”

 

Intended use of funds through the YFC 2023 programme

One of the following:
– raising awareness of our elderly services
– promoting volunteerism and volunteer recruitment
– raise awareness on common issues of ageing and encouraging active ageing in community

 

Engaging and involving the YFC participants

I intend to invite the volunteers to my centre for a project discussion. Share with them on the intention of the project and let them brainstorm on what they would like to do. I would like to empower the team to take ownership of the project which means brainstorming from scratch, prepare project timeline, prepare materials and approaches to execute the project.
