This National Grandparents Day (22 Nov), join Kele & Lion Befrienders to send some love to seniors! Kele strongly advocates for family unity and empathy towards our Seniors. COVID-19 has drastically decreased opportunities for daily interactions between LB's volunteers with these Seniors. As such, sending tins of love in the form of cookies is a simple way to remind them that they are not alone. We are proud to share that Kele is collaborating with LB to raise 500 cookie tins for this donation. Join us to spread some warmth and care to our Seniors this National Grandparents' Day. For every 1 cookie tin that you donate, Kele will be matching it. We aim to bring the total number of donatable cookie tins to 1000 and we hope that you can be part of this today!

Established in 1995, LB has more than 25 years of experience in befriending and caring for seniors in order for them to age in place in the community. Over the years, LB strives to address the varied needs of more than 86,000 seniors by adopting a senior-centric approach in its eldercare services. Leveraging on the support of some 1,000 regular volunteers, we actively engage more than 6,000 at-risk seniors via a spectrum of integrated eldercare service from preventive to intervention through comprehensive programmes, including social, emotional, mental and physical, to improve their quality of life.

Amid the challenges in the eldercare landscape, LB undertakes constant review and adjustment to its programmes and services. Under our Community Outreach arm, we currently operate 10 Senior Activity Centres, 3 Cluster Support, 2 Senior Group Homes and Home Personal Care services. Our Befriending arm extends island-wide befriending services to socially isolated seniors. For its exemplary disclosure and corporate governance practices, LB was conferred the Charity Transparency Award by the Charity Council in 2016 and 2017.
