Yesterday, we joined SMRT, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth - MCCY and 11 other charities at Ang Mo Kio MRT Station for the launch of ๐—๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ, a new initiative giving selected charities the opportunity to share their stories across Singapore's public transport network.

ABLE is honoured to be one of 12 IPCs selected for the initiative. Our campaign will bring stories about life after an acquired physical disability into the everyday journeys of commuters across the island.

The launch brought together representatives from all 12 charities, with the specially decorated train at Ang Mo Kio giving everyone a first look at the campaigns.

We're grateful to SMRT and Stellar Ace for giving charities a platform to share the work we do and reach people in new ways.

Keep an eye out for ABLE's campaign as you travel around Singapore. You might just spot us on your next journey.

We look forward to seeing ABLE's campaign out there, one journey at a time.

Participants learnt more about ABLEโ€™s work with persons with physical disabilities and their caregivers, before hearing from Br Matthias, who shared his own experience with ABLE, including his time participating in Circuit Exercises with our clients. He also spoke about his attachment at Catholic Welfare Services (CWS).

Together, the sharing from ABLE and CWS offered different but complementary perspectives on how we can support and journey alongside people in our community, especially during times of challenge and change.

Thank you to the Holy Cross RCIA community for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to share more about ABLE and our work as part of the wider social mission of the Catholic Church.

We hope the session offered a deeper appreciation of what it means to walk alongside others with dignity, compassion and a willingness to be present.

It was just a 2km and 4km walk. But it brought a lot of people together.

This morning, the Caritas community came together at Sentosa Palawan Beach for ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ, with our clients, caregivers, staff and volunteers taking part in the 2km accessible walk together.

The morning was as much about the company as it was about the walk.

And the morning didn't end at the finish line. We stayed on for the carnival, enjoying the food, music, activities and company, with plenty of smiles and encouragement along the way.

We're grateful to our volunteers who gave their time to be part of the morning, and to everyone who supported our participation in this year's walk.

Thank you to Caritas Singapore for organising the event and creating an accessible and welcoming experience for everyone to take part.

For someone in recovery, it can be learning a new way to use your hands. Trying again when something doesn't go quite right. Or simply discovering that you can do more than you thought.

At ABLE, recovery is about more than reaching the big milestones. It's about building confidence, regaining independence and finding your way back to the everyday things that matter.

Behind many of these small steps are therapists, caregivers, family and volunteers who encourage, guide and give someone the space to keep trying.

Origami, clay making, board games and music became more than just activities. They became opportunities to patiently guide one another, make space for everyone to take part, and discover how small acts of inclusion can make a meaningful difference.

Thank you to Cedar Primary School for welcoming us back for a second year, and to the teachers who thoughtfully worked with us to ensure every activity could be enjoyed by everyone.

When young people grow up interacting with persons with physical disabilities, inclusion becomes part of everyday life.

This National Day, thank you for celebrating the many ways people find belonging with us.

Every answer was different.

Together, they reminded us that belonging is something we build with one another.

A volunteer sharing a laugh with a client.
A caregiver walking alongside a loved one.
Friends singing together.
Someone discovering they're capable of more than they thought.

Belonging isn't one big moment. It's built through many small ones.

This National Day, we're celebrating those momentsโ€”and the people who make them possible.

For many Singaporeans, the Kallang Wave is something we've watched on television year after year.

At this year's National Day Parade Preview, our clients and caregivers experienced it for themselves after being invited to join the celebrations at the National Stadium. ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ

Joining the Kallang Wave alongside thousands of fellow Singaporeans was a special moment. Singing along to familiar National Day songs and cheering during the fireworks made the evening even more memorable.

For some, it had been years since they last attended a National Day Parade. For others, it was their very first experience. It was an evening they won't soon forget.

A special thank you to the Youth Corps Singapore befrienders, whose encouragement and companionship made the evening even more enjoyable for our clients and caregivers.

Thank you to the NDP26 Outreach Committee, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre and NCSS Singapore for making this memorable evening possible.
