Singapore Cheshire Home in Serangoon The Singapore Cheshire Home runs a Residential Home with a capacity for 67 residents who suffer mainly from muscular dystrophy/atrophy, spastic, cerebral palsy, deformities, spinal/head injuries. They receive nursing care, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, training in daily living skills, handicraft, computer practices and recreational activities. Volunteers with the Central Christian Church and HOPE worldwide (Singapore) have been serving the residents at the Cheshire Home since Jan 2007. Volunteers undergo wheelchair training provided by the Home and learn how to manage the residents’ needs as they take them for outings. Thus far, outings have included visits to shopping malls, picnics, and even street carnivals. Ms Florence Chow, General Manager, the Singapore Cheshire Home, expressed her gratitude for the volunteers in a letter to the Central Christian Church. “This is to thank you and your church members for visiting the Home…Please accept, and convey to your church members, our grateful appreciation for your diligent and concerted efforts with the less fortunate…. Your support of our work in caring for the severely disabled through efforts such as this is a great encouragement to us.”
