Our Intergenerational Baking and Handicraft Programme, launched at RedMan by Phoon Huat in Northshore Plaza, Punggol, was recently spotlighted by Lianhe Zaobao. 📰

The feature highlights our partnership with Connexions - Integrated Learning Hub to foster an inclusive society and create sustainable micro-job opportunities. Through this initiative, seniors from PCS Active Ageing Centres (AACs) and students with special needs from Connexions come together to co-create festive Christmas cookies and handicrafts—empowering both generations to learn, create, and connect.

The launch was officiated by MP for Punggol GRC, Yeo Wan Ling, with support from Phoon Huat Pte Ltd who provided the baking studio space.
