Connecting Communities. Enabling Lives

 

Overview

The establishment of ESHs is part of efforts under the Enabling Masterplan 2030 and takes a regional approach to bring community support services closer to the homes of persons with disabilities and their caregivers.

The first ESH has been set up in Tampines by SG Enable, in partnership with SPD. Enabling Services Hub @ Tampines (ESH@Tampines) is located at Tampines West Community Club and serves persons with disabilities and their caregivers residing in Tampines and Bedok.

SG Enable will launch two more ESHs at Jurong West and Punggol in 2025. These new ESHs will serve persons with disabilities in Jurong West and Punggol, Hougang, Sengkang and Serangoon towns. This webpage will be updated as more ESHs are set up in Singapore.

The ESHs offer:

  • Inclusive Community Activities
  • First Stop Information & Referral Services 
  • Continual Education & Learning Courses
  • Befriending & Caregiver Support Services

 

Inclusive Community Activities

For Everyone

Organised in collaboration with community partners such as People’s Association, these activities encourage social inclusion and improve the social skills of persons with disabilities through accessible "open group" activities. These activities are usually held outdoors and are open to all. 

Examples of such activities include: 

  1. Kpopx  
  2. Levelled Field
  3. Brisk Walking/Inclusive Sports
  4. Low Impact Aerobics
  5. Bokwa
