RSVP Appreciation Day 2024

We’re proud to share that HCSA Community Services received a Silver Award in appreciation from RSVP Singapore The Organisation of Senior Volunteers! The award was presented to our CEO Kim Lang Khalil at RSVP Singapore’s annual Appreciation Day – honouring the incredible senior volunteers and valued community partners who make a difference.

Thanks to the support of the Council for Third Age (C3A) and their Silver Volunteer Fund, senior volunteers from RSVP Singapore join us at the HCSA Academy kitchen every first Tuesday of the month.

Together with Sony Haq, our Head of Academy who plans the menu and prepares the ingredients for the day, the senior volunteers cook hearty meals for our HCSA Highpoint residents to enjoy before their regular house meetings held on the same day.

These sessions are extra special when our Highpoint residents join in the cooking, fostering friendships and showing that acceptance and hope are always possible.

By working alongside our Highpoint residents, the senior volunteers demonstrate how age is no barrier to contributing meaningfully to society. Volunteering also helps them stay engaged and fulfilled in their later years by sharing their knowledge and experiences. It offers a sense of purpose, enabling them to remain active participants in society.

What we cook up together nourishes not just bodies, but also hearts. A huge thank you to RSVP Singapore for being such a wonderful partner on this journey!
