It was truly a Children’s Day weekend to remember for about 200 residents — both young and old — from Taman Jurong Zone B!
We spent a lively morning at the Children’s Day Family Health Carnival, part of our Adopt-a-Rental-Block programme bringing fun and wellness to Taman Jurong residents.
Since May this year, our team has been engaging residents from three rental blocks through friendly home visits to better understand their health and social needs. The insights and conversations from these visits culminated in today’s enjoyable and educational event, which brought together a range of activities under one roof — from health screenings and safety demonstrations to fitness and wellness booths on topics like managing home emergencies, preventing falls, and practising healthy screen habits for children.
And of course, no carnival would be complete without balloons, games, art activities, mooncakes, and storybooks! The event was made even more special with the presence of Mr Shawn Huang, Adviser to West Coast–Jurong West Grassroots Organisations, who joined residents and volunteers in the festivities. Everyone went home with big smiles after a fun and meaningful day spent together.

A big thank you to the more than 150 volunteers for your dedication, passion, and enthusiasm in making this outreach possible. We are also deeply grateful to our partners — NTUC Health Active Ageing Centre (Taman Jurong), Taman Jurong Community Club and Residents Network Zone B, National Library Board, Singapore, Fei Yue Family Service Centre, Tasek Academy and Social Services, and Social Service Office @ Taman Jurong — for collaborating with us to bring health and wellness to the doorsteps of residents.
Today’s event was more than just a carnival — it was a celebration of community, compassion, and collaboration. Together, we continue to build a caring Taman Jurong ecosystem where health, happiness, and neighbourliness thrive!
