We were honoured to be part of a special International Women’s Day celebration by PAP Community Foundation, where mums and caregivers living in West Coast came together to unwind and connect!   Graced by MP for the West Coast GRC, Minister Desmond Lee, the event saw participants enjoying relaxing massages, mingling over high tea and learning valuable caregiving tips and resources through a workshop by TOUCH Caregivers Support. Caregivers of persons with disabilities also had the opportunity to find out more about programmes offered at Enabling Services Hub@Jurong by TOUCH Community Services.   It was a day filled with learning and mutual support - we’re privileged to empower caregivers, who are often the unsung heroes in our community.   Thank you to all who joined us!

Scam victims in Singapore lost a record $1.1 billion in 2024, with over 3,500 cases of scams reported so far in 2025. Among other vulnerable groups, persons with intellectual disabilities are especially at risk.    Ms chiew geok ang, Group Head of TOUCH Special Needs Group shares that while scams are not common amongst its trainees, measures are in place to equip them to stay alert.   At TOUCH Ubi Hostel (TUH), a residential training hostel for adults with intellectual disabilities, trainees learn the importance of protecting their privacy on social media and how to manage their money responsibly.
