Our Campaign Story
ends 30 Nov 2021, 11:59 PMHi there! sebastian and shareen are siblings who believe in supporting and giving back to the society.
We will be taking part in LFS' (Lakeside Family Services) "4ward Together 4 Million Steps" campaign. We will be walking overnight for more than 70km all the way from LFS' HQ at Yung Ho Road to Changi Chapel & Museum, to raise funds for ex-inmates and inmates in Singapore
We believe that every inmate should be given a second chance at life, and in the spirit of this, the funds raised will go towards rehabilitation facilities and programmes for the inmates.
Every donation counts towards the bright futures of these inmates and ex-inmates as they transition back into our society, free to start anew. Therefore, any donations will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kindness
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/
