At 78, Uncle Goh’s smile is his trademark. But behind his cheerful nature, this retired school cleaner was vulnerable to exploitation and mental health struggles. His trusting heart often made him a target for scams. Through O’Joy, Uncle Goh now has a dedicated safety net. From resolving fraud to volunteer-led trips to the zoo, we ensure he lives with the dignity and security he deserves.

After a frightening incident where Uncle Choi went missing for 12 hours, it was clear he could no longer manage alone. While daycare provided safety, his days remained quiet and lonely—until Richard came into his life. As an O’Joy volunteer, Richard didn’t just visit; he brought connection back to Uncle Choi’s life through stories and games of chess. Now, a once-lonely routine is filled with the warmth of a true friend.

Nancy, a senior participant and volunteer at O’Joy’s Health-Oriented Ageing (HOA) programme, shares how consistent participation in wellness activities helped improve her health.

Abbott’s Team IINSPIRE partnered with O’Joy to deliver essential items to 9 families in need, while learning about our mission and the NGO scene in Singapore. A heartfelt day of giving and connection.
