Painting an acrylic on canvas artwork is more than therapeutic, it is empowering.

To see a blank canvas transform into an art piece gives me tremendous satisfaction.

But more importantly, painting allows us to 're-write' our narrative - we can paint the future that we hope for.

Darkness is the absence of light. When our hearts and minds are enlightened, we will be able to walk out of the darkness into a bright future.

And this is the message that the painting is trying to convey to the beneficiaries of TTSH Community Fund.

In keeping with Mr Tan Tock Seng's Legacy of Giving, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) set up its charity arm, TTSH Community Fund, in August 1995 to improve the quality of life of our patients and the community. Our Charity turns 25 in 2020, this is made possible with the community's effort and continuous support.

Today, our Charity runs more than 100 patient-centred programmes, disbursing more than $2 million each year for the Charity's activities. We support over 2,500 needy patient cases, especially the elderly and those who fall through the cracks of the system, and those who are unable to receive help from traditional charitable agencies.

From expensive non-standard medication and breathing equipment to mobility aids, community rehabilitation programmes, and even dentures to help them eat better, TTSH Community Fund helps needy patients to gain greater independence, improve their quality of life and enable them to integrate back into the community. The Fund also supports healthcare research, innovation, and training for our staff and the community to deliver better patient care.

Our Charity runs entirely on public donations. Every dollar to the Charity goes directly to support our activities. The TTSH Community Fund is a registered charity with IPC status.
