About Campaign
ends 31 Mar 2023, 11:59 PMWe hope to continue walking with (ex-)inmates in their journey of reintegration: Imparting life skills, preparing them for life after release, guiding them as they navigate challenges, and providing referral services for them and their families.
We will also be expanding our work to include aftercare services such as employment support through job matching and career coaching, plus family bonding activities to strengthen family ties.
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
To emphasise the importance of family and community support, our fundraising campaign is titled Walking With You. Do walk with us, clock your steps, and invite your friends and family to support your walk! For more info, visit https://lakeside.org.sg/support-us/a-million-steps/
