Since its formation in April 2025, the East Region Practice Work Group — made up of partners from TRANS Family Services (TFS), YGOS, Montfort Care, THK and PPIS — has been meeting every two months with great energy and purpose. Each session has been a space for us to align our visions and practice directions, and prepare for the upcoming regionalisation of the sector. Together, the agencies have been openly exchanging insights, challenges, and ideas to strengthen services in the East.
At our latest session on 13 November 2025 hosted by TFS, the TRANS FSC (Bedok Reservoir) team — together with the Practice and Service Development team — shared their project on key considerations in developing services and programmes. They also led an engaging activity where representatives from each organisation added their own on-the-ground experiences to shape a shared set of considerations that truly reflects the needs and hopes of the communities we serve.
We also heard a thoughtful presentation from the Marine Parade FSC team on how they approach needs assessment. It was an invigorating afternoon of learning, reflection, and collaboration. Together, the work group is developing practical guidelines to inform service and programme development for the East region in the coming year.
A big thank you to all our partners for your passion, commitment, and teamwork!
