Our Campaign Story
ends 31 Mar 2022, 11:59 PM"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matt 25:40
In these challenging and difficult times, many are struggling to survive. To help bring hope and healing to the 4,000 incarcerated, ex-prisoners, and their families, I will once again partner with Lakeside Family Services to raise at least $20,000/-.
It gives me great joy to commit to walking in this 4ward Together 4 Million Steps campaign.
Every step counts, every dollar counts to help Lakeside Family Services reach their target of $300,000/-.
May I once again please appeal for your support for this worthy cause?
Thank you very much.

About Campaign
Lakeside Family Services launched its first #AMillionSteps fundraising campaign in 2020, targeting to reach 1 million steps together to raise funds for our programmes serving (ex-)inmates and their families.
This year, we hope to continue supporting them in their journey to reintegration. Together with all our staff, volunteers and friends of Lakeside, we are committed to pledge 1,000 steps for each of the 4,000 (ex-)inmates we work with.
In the spirit of going the distance together, our campaign this year is titled 4ward Together 4 Million Steps. Together with all our staff, volunteers and friends of Lakeside, we hope to walk 4 Million Steps and raise $300,000.
Lakeside provides a wide range of services, including:
1. Family Resource Centre, a one-stop centre for inmates and their families
2. Case Management Support for inmates on the Work Release Scheme
3. Life skills workshops through our Release Preparation Programme
4. Televisit services for families to visit their loved ones in prison through our teleconferencing facility
5. Holistic programmes for financial assistance, family bonding, and casework support after release
Clock your steps with us and invite your friends and family to support your walk! For more info, visit https://www.lakeside.org.sg/support-us/4-million-steps/
