🎉Chinese New Year Celebration 2026 at TRANS FOCUS Active Ageing Centre

In celebration of Chinese New Year, our 37 Happy Healthy Hour (H3) seniors welcomed 47 Kindergarten 2 (K2) students from MOE Kindergarten @ Fengshan Primary School for an intergenerational craft activity. In pairs, the seniors and children worked hand-in-hand to decorate the Chinese character “福” (fortune) using crepe paper and glue. Seniors had the opportunity to guide and interact with the children while engaging their fine motor skills, and the children explored their creativity and practised expressing their ideas with confidence. As they discussed colours and designs, the room quickly filled with laughter and conversation. The session created a heartwarming opportunity for both generations to connect and celebrate the festive season together.

TRANS Family Services hosted a special Volunteer Engagement Lunch on 17 January 2026, bringing together volunteers for an afternoon of connection, learning, and appreciation. The event was the first of its kind as volunteers were invited to bring along a family member or friend, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The programme featured icebreaker games, a quiz on the history of TRANS Family Services, and a sharing session to help volunteers better understand our work and discover upcoming volunteering opportunities. A highlight of the session was a sharing panel where experienced volunteers shared their personal journeys, meaningful moments, and reflections on volunteering with TRANS Family Services - offering valuable insights and inspiration to fellow participants. The gathering concluded with a hearty lunch enjoyed by all participants. We extend our sincere thanks to the participants who joined us and contributed to the vibrant session, as well as to the Volunteer Management Subcommittee which thoughtfully planned and executed this meaningful and memorable session.

TRANS Family Services kicked off the year with a joyful Welcome Back Party held on 16 January 2026 at SAFRA Toa Payoh! The afternoon brought together Board members and staff from all centres for a competition of musicality and creativity, sumptuous lunch, and time to reconnect with one another. Cookies and personalised affirmation cards added a thoughtful touch to the event. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the organising committee members from the various centres who worked closely together to plan and implement the event. Their dedication and teamwork made the Welcome Back Party a meaningful and memorable start to 2026 for the TRANS Family.
