We wanted to say a big Thank You to all who had attended CARE CARNIVAL 2019. There was wonderful feedback that the event was very professionally organized and well-done. Organised by caregivers for caregivers, this inaugural event welcomed over 480 participants. The atmosphere was described as fun, special and full of varieties for caregivers to participate in. Many loved the talks, booths, childminding, performances, tour, the environment and the food. One caregiver simply liked “everything”!
Care Carnival is a unique caregiver-led initiative with a vision of building a vibrant and dynamic caregiving community in Singapore.
Our mission is to connect, enable and empower our fellow caregivers through sharing of evidence-based knowledge and practices, and building mutually rewarding and synergistic partnerships with professional bodies, community partners and stakeholders.
We will feature a comprehensive and holistic 1-day program on 30 November (Saturday) for caregivers of children and youth with special needs at the Enabling Village. In this care carnival, caregivers will get the opportunity to:
Care Carnival is supported by Lien Foundation as part of PARENTS for PARENTS, a community initiative to empower caregivers and push for progress on inclusion.
We look forward to an exciting day with you!
