Remember final year’s #ActionForHer initiative ? Here’s an actionable way you can pledge support for the ladies in your life: Volunteer with an initiative that facilitates caregivers – most of whom are ladies.
At the Activity For Her: Growing Our Circles of Care exhibition, which will be held on Saturday (Sep 10) , at the Sands Expo and Meeting Centre, you can learn regarding more than 20 ground-up groups and interpersonal service agencies that provide caregiving and parenting support, and register to volunteer with all those related to the causes close to your heart.
Families and friends can also ask questions, collect information and discover services related to their caregiving responsibilities, at the exhibition organised by the PAP Women’s Wing as part of its efforts to lighten the load associated with caregivers.
For example , you can learn about SGAssist, an app that gives you entry to more than 4, 500 volunteers, who can help buy groceries, “dabao” food and make deliveries. Those who turn their own “volunteer mode” on can also be called upon to help a caregiver near them.
If you know someone near to you who’s trying to get pregnant, check in with the females at Fertility Assistance SG, who can reveal their personal encounters with fertility remedies and pregnancy loss.
You can also get advice on specific circumstances, such as dementia, endometriosis, muscular dystrophy and stroke, with the groups serving these patients and their caregivers.
The showcase is also held included in the women’s wing’s annual conference.
Here’s the full list of taking part vendors:
The Motion for Her: Growing The Circles of Care exhibition will be held on Saturday (Sep 10) from 1pm to 6pm on the Heliconia Junior Ballroom on the third flooring of the Sands Expo and Convention Center. Admission is free.
