HCSA SPIN Inaugural Graduation Lunch

🎉 Celebrating New Beginnings & Strong Connections 🎉

On 1 March 2025, HCSA SPIN hosted its inaugural Graduation Lunch, marking a meaningful moment for our single parents who have strengthened their resilience to provide and care for their families. It was a heartfelt occasion where 8 graduates were joined by 4 leaders of our Solo & Strong alumni community to gather and celebrate the turn of a chapter in their lives and the exciting start of their next chapter as proactive social supports for other single parents.

This special event provided an opportunity for alumni to connect, share their stories, and find new support through peer and parenting connections. From touching personal stories to meaningful connections, the lunch served as a reminder that no one has to navigate their journey alone.

💬 Madeline Chua, one of our graduates, shared her gratitude:
“The counselling sessions have helped me realise the importance of mental wellness and allowed me to be a happier mother, which contributes to happier kids. Hence, I wish to give back to HCSA SPIN and hope that single parents out there who require support can be connected with SPIN.”

Our social work team chimed in:
“There was an intimate and comfortable space for them to familiarise with one another, have their lunch while reminiscing and sharing their struggles and joys in their single parent journey. We were heartened to see graduates having conversations with one another seated around them, listening with an open mind.”

✨ ✨ Our first graduation lunch was full of heartwarming moments, including personal stories shared by graduates and alumni leaders. It was a safe, supportive space where new bonds were formed. We are grateful for this new initiative and look forward to the further graduation lunches to come, where we will continue to empower single parents through connection, guidance and support.

A huge thank you to NannyPro for providing complimentary childminding services, so parents could fully enjoy this lunch, knowing their children are in good hands.

The journey doesn’t end here—it’s only just begun! 🌱💪
