On 13 March 2026, Loving Heart Multi Service Centre (Jurong) hosted the Community Ambassadors (CA) Appreciation Luncheon at SAFRA Jurong, bringing together volunteers and community partners for an afternoon of appreciation, connection and celebration.
Since its launch in December 2024, the Community Ambassador Scheme has continued to grow, with volunteers contributing their time, energy and skills to support outreach efforts and community initiatives.
We were delighted to welcome our community partners from Loving Heart Active Ageing Centre, NTUC Health @ 493, Jurong Central Active Ageing Centre, and SACS @ 499. Their presence at the luncheon reflected the spirit of collaboration that brings our community efforts to life.
The luncheon also saw the introduction of our new Bring A Friend Scheme, encouraging CAs to invite friends and family to join them in volunteering. Under the scheme, CAs will receive $30 worth of Jurong Central Vouchers for every successful referral who completes three individual volunteering assignments.
The afternoon was filled with good food, lively entertainment and plenty of laughter at the photobooth. Participants also received a commemorative Year of the Horse gold coin as a special door gift, extending the festive spirit of the recent Chinese New Year celebrations.
As part of the appreciation, five Community Ambassadors were presented with Certificates of Recognition for their dedicated volunteer service. Among them was Mr Koh Teck Wah, a longstanding volunteer with Loving Heart Multi Service Centre (Jurong), whose commitment and passion for serving others continue to inspire those around him.
Reflecting on his volunteer journey, Mr Koh shared, “I enjoy working with the staff and being part of the team here, and volunteering gives me a strong sense of fulfilment. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces and hearing their words of appreciation brings me great joy. Even though I am retired, I still want to continue giving back to the community.”
Mr Koh's words embody the spirit of volunteerism and remind us that meaningful change begins with individuals who choose to give their time, care and support to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Inspired by Mr K's journey? You too can be part of a growing network of Community Ambassadors who are making a difference, one person, one family and one neighbourhood at a time.
Every conversation, every act of kindness and every effort to support a neighbour helps build a stronger and more caring community. We welcome individuals from all walks of life to join us in this meaningful mission.
