All proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the diverse range of services and programmes to support our beneficiaries.
For example, one of our self-funded programmes is called Storm Riders. Organised by Community Services and Programmes @ Children’s Society, Storm Riders is aimed at equipping children aged 9 to 12 with the skills to manage their anger and work out disagreements in a safe way. With these skills, children are better able to build and maintain good relationships with others.
Mdm Tan*, parent of 9-year-old participant John*, noticed the impact of the session on her son, sharing that “Now when we see him getting angry, we will try to remind him what he has learnt and can see he tried to apply. So his anger now will diffuse faster”.
