Volunteers for Seniors Digital for Life Support Groups
17 Feb 2025 - 31 Dec 2025
Overview
Seniors Digital for Life Support Groups
Family Support Services has started its Seniors Digital for Life programme to equip seniors with digital literacy skills. This programme aims to help them become confident in using digital apps in their daily lives. It is supported by the Digital for Life Fund, an initiative by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) that supports digital inclusion projects and activities to help Singaporeans embrace digital technology to enrich lives.
Over one-to-one sessions, our staff will be guiding seniors to use essential apps such as Singpass and HealthHub. They will also be teaching them to stay safe online, and how to use WhatsApp and Zoom to remain connected with friends and family. In the ensuing months, we will be holding support groups to check-in with the seniors and help them overcome their challenges.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
1. To befriend the seniors and build rapport.
2. To deliver the digital related talks to the seniors in mandarin/dialect.
Frequency of Volunteering
1 to 2 sessions over 2 weeks.

About Organisation
As a convenient, one-stop community based centre, Family Support Services has been making a difference to the lives of the less privileged. Besides extending a practical life-line and friendship to the marginalized in the community, we work with many corporate and individual volunteers to organise educational and interactive activities for the elderly and disadvantaged families so that they do not feel forgotten.
