[SINGAPORE] Keppel Care Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Keppel, has pledged S$1 million over the next three years to Dementia Singapore in support of the social service agency’s dementia care programmes.
Unveiled on Friday (Sep 5), the donation marks a renewal of the partnership between Keppel and Dementia Singapore, which began in 2022. It also coincides with the 35th anniversary of Dementia Singapore, established in 1990 as the Alzheimer’s Disease Association.
Keppel CEO Loh Chin Hua said the renewed partnership between Keppel and Dementia Singapore will “further strengthen the support system for persons with dementia and their caregivers, and expand access to support for members of the public who may encounter challenges with dementia or dementia care”.
Half of the amount donated will go towards subsidising attendance fees for clients in need at Dementia Singapore’s four New Horizon Centres.
These facilities, located in Bukit Batok, Jurong Point, Tampines and Toa Payoh, offer daycare services and support for persons with dementia, as well as relief for caregivers. More than 170 received subsidies from Keppel’s last pledge, Dementia Singapore said.
The remaining S$500,000 will support Dementia Singapore’s other initiatives. These include the agency’s helpline, as well as Voices for Hope, a 10-week programme that aims to combat stigma by empowering persons with dementia and caregivers to share their stories, needs and views.
