The Singapore Cheshire Home

I enjoy the interaction with the residents and the staff at the Home and learnt many things that I otherwise would not have known if I had not participated in volunteering. I also appreciate the bonding with my friends through volunteering.

ホームの皆さん・スタッフの方々との触れ合いで、私自身も楽しい時間を持たせて頂いています。ボランティアに参加しなければ知ることが出来なかった事も沢山あり、仲間の大切さも実感しています。

The Singapore Cheshire Home is a place that few know or heard of but the Home is more than just a home. In fact, I would call it my new family. Here, in this Home I am allowed to live an independent life, and learn more about my strengths and weaknesses. Here, I am able to meet new friends, exchange our thoughts and share our perspectives on community life. Eventually we build strong bonds of friendship as we connect with each other every day. And that is not all, I discovered a few of my hidden and unspoken passion for the English language. Ever since then, I have been writing for the Red Feather Newsletter of the Singapore Cheshire Home.

Cheshire Home not only makes [the residents] feel like a second home but it also makes us volunteers feel at home. As volunteers, we managed to forge rather strong bonds with some of the residents as they shared their personal life stories with us and look forward to us coming to volunteer. …Overall, Cheshire Home is an organisation I would recommend others to work with and to volunteer in due to the homely and welcoming environment, friendly residents and the efficient working team.
