Elder Abuse Awareness Session for Seniors by TRANS SAFE Centre

To foster greater awareness of elder abuse within the community, TRANS SAFE Centre conducted a free one-hour interactive session in Mandarin for 14 seniors from Goodlife Studio (Bedok) on 4 Nov 2025.

The session covered these key topics:

  • Understanding what elder abuse is and why it matters to our community
  • Recognising common warning signs
  • How to support friends or neighbours who may be facing difficulties
  • Where to seek help and the national resources available

Through open conversations and shared learning, participants were reminded of the importance of staying connected, recognising when someone may need help, and knowing that support is available within the community.

By strengthening awareness and encouraging mutual care, the session aimed to build a safer, more supportive community of seniors who feel informed, confident, and supported.

Celebrating Strength, Connection and Community – Migrant Brides Project

On a Saturday afternoon, TRANS Family Services marked Mother’s Day with a special programme for our migrant mothers and their children. The celebration provided a welcoming space for participants to share experiences and affirm one another, and build new friendships over a meal. Beyond celebrating Mother’s Day, the gathering also offered an opportunity for participants to share their hopes, interests and ideas for future activities, helping to shape a community that is supportive, empowering and participant-led. While mothers actively participated in the discussion, their children were engaged in making keychains from air-dry clay facilitated by volunteers. We are grateful to all the mothers, children, volunteers and staff who contributed to making the day a joyful and memorable one. Through initiatives such as the Migrant Brides Project, TRANS Family Services remains committed to fostering meaningful connections, strengthening support networks, and creating opportunities for women and families to thrive together.

CNY Lo-Hei and Intergenerational Crafts at Bedok

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.
