1, 2, 3! and we are in 2023!
In a blink of an eye, we have concluded our 30th-anniversary celebrations with three cheers! Hooray!
Looking back over three decades, we have served numerous children with chronic illnesses and their families. Some of who have made a tremendous breakthrough and become independent, active contributors to the community whilst co-existing with lifelong illnesses. Others have gone before us, having loved ones work through grief and loss workshops with the support of Club Rainbow’s dedicated team of social workers.
From caring for the beneficiaries’ well-being and basic needs to ensuring the deliverance of relevant services based on curated individualised care plans, we see harmonious collaboration between caregivers, social workers and supporting partners. Last year, we welcomed the opening of Sandbox where the heart of creativity, confidence and talents are discovered and nurtured through various programmes held at the centre. Believing in equal opportunities for beneficiaries with medical conditions or developmental issues, the launch of the early childhood programme prepares children for school in areas like reading, writing, etc. The programme embodies our values of respect and resilience, providing a sense of belonging for the beneficiaries all while preparing the children for compulsory education. It ran its first intake in January 2022 and is in its 3rd run this year.
Before the yearend, we introduced a new 3-part series programme under Vocational Development, Bake under the Rainbow. The new initiative covered the basics from Food Safety, Baking sessions to the Bake Sale. The first run of the bake sale was in conjunction with Ride For Rainbows 2022 and the 30th Anniversary Birthday Bash at the Marina Barrage.
Truly this is the ecosystem we want for the children and their families. Dreaming the future with a network of support from the community who comes together as donors, volunteers, partners and corporate to pull resources from various aspects to engage with the beneficiaries and their families.
We have come this far, so what’s next?
