The Golden Years (Season of Giving 2024)
We believe that life can be lived to the fullest at every age. The golden years should be a time of joy and celebration, not fear and isolation. Lakeside Family Services (Lakeside) started Kaki Kampong Seniors Wellness (KKSW) to promote holistic wellness in seniors aged 50 and above, empowering them to take charge of their lives and well-being.
We aim to prevent and address issues commonly faced by the elderly, such as a lack of social support, loss of health and mobility, and a lack of engagement and sense of purpose. To build a warm community for seniors, KKSW runs interest groups, outings, and events that help them stay active and grow. We also encourage active seniors to reach out to isolated and vulnerable seniors, strengthening community bonds through peer-to-peer volunteering.
To honour the sacrifices our parents and grandparents have made, let us make their golden years memorable and fulfilling. The Golden Years is part of Lakeside’s annual Season of Giving campaign, which supports our services for vulnerable individuals, families, children, youths, and the work we do with seniors at KKSW.
Campaign period: 1 July 2024 – 31 March 2025
