For most of us, being mobile is deemed a given and when stricken with mobility issues, we may not be prepared for the huge medical-related costs and adjustments we need to make on a day-to-day basis. This is especially crushing for low income residents and elderly.
For the elderly or those with mobility difficulties, travelling to their clinic or hospital for medical appointments can be a challenge. They require special assistance and these arrangements need to be made frequently for certain medical conditions.
Through the South West Assistive & Mobility Fund, 200 needy elderly and vulnerable residents will be able to receive transport subsidies and assistive device subsidies (e.g. wheelchair, walking stick, etc) so that they can move around more easily and also get to their medical appointments more conveniently. Your donation will help vulnerable residents and elderly receive transport subsidy or taxi vouchers, and assistive device subsidy.
Terms and Conditions apply.

Community Partner
The South West Community Development Council (CDC) was formed on 24 November 2001, with the mission to Assist the Needy, Bond the People and Connect the Community.
Through local help programmes, the South West CDC strives to provide holistic assistance to help the less fortunate in our community and support self-help. The CDC also organises projects and programmes to promote community bonding and social cohesion. The South West CDC adopts the "Many Helping Hands" approach to encourage community ownership among residents, community partners and corporations to realise its vision of "Owning Your Community”.
Together with dedicated partners and volunteers, the South West CDC has rolled out a series of bursaries to promote social mobility, as well as schemes and programmes to better address specific needs of the residents. With the support of charitable donations, the South West CDC hopes to strengthen the safety net and benefit more needy residents.
