SINGAPORE — A new 30,000 sqm integrated community space to serve as a focal point of services for persons with disabilities and their caregivers at Redhill was launched today (July 3), as part of the nation’s efforts towards an inclusive society.
The space aims to be a one-stop gateway for information, referral and employment services for persons with disabilities and is expected to be operational in the second half of next year.
“We will develop this site into a shared space where bonds will be forged, and the people, private and public sectors come together to encourage greater integration and inclusion of persons with disabilities within the community.” said Ms Ku Geok Boon, chief executive officer of SG Enable.
“Through the services and infrastructure on this site, we hope to enable persons with disabilities to fulfill their aspirations and pursue independent and dignified lives.”
