SHARE Volunteers: Happy Birthday To 添添 Candice!

A "surprise" birthday party for Candice!

About Us - SHARE VOLUNTEERS

The word 'SHARE' stands for SN Home Assistance out Reach to Elderly. This programme was launched in 31st Dec 1997-1998 to bring our services beyond the compounds of our Home and into the estate of Marsiling and Yishun.

Apart from volunteering, providing services to the elderly at the Home, some SN volunteers (SHARE members) also visit beneficiaries every month at their estate in Marsiling and Yishun, with the objective of befriending and lending assistance to the needy. This includes lending them a listening ear, reading letters for them, buying of daily necessities and helping them in other areas where assistance is required.The SHARE beneficiaries also includes lower educated families with financial problems.

SHARE members have been organising get-together sessions and outings since 2005 for the beneficiaries to gather around to chit-chat, relax and have an enjoyable afternoon together. Buffet dinner at the void deck, a day to the Hay Dairies Goat Farm and Har Paw Villa Trip proves a closer bondings amongst these beneficiaries and also the volunteers. In doing so, it promotes a 'Watch Out' for one another mentallity or attitudes for beneficiaries living in the same estate.

These beneficiaries are also invited to join in the festive celebrations and outings conducted by SNV in the Home. This kind of act aims at spreading festive joy and loves not only towards the elderly destitutes in the Home, but also to the SHARE beneficiaries from our neighbouring estate!
