Story

Raffles Hall Alumni and Raffles Hall student volunteers gathered on 1st September 2024 to volunteer with Blossom Seeds in their annual event Ready Set Gold, an inclusive Charity Walk designed to support active and vulnerable seniors to stay active. The event took place at the Blossom Seeds Centre in Bukit Canberra with an estimated 1350 walking participants and 600 volunteers. Raffles Hall was represented by Ms Lim Swee Kim (Computing '88), Chairperson of Raffles Hall Association, and over 10 student volunteers and several alumni including Lui Seng Fatt (Architecture '79, MBA '84) and Dilip Kumar (Law '78). Led by Leonard Tan (Engineering '19) and Pang Wei Han (Science '19), our volunteers walked together with our beneficiaries as befrienders and strengthen our community bonds, encouraging and showing our seniors that they are valued and cared for. Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung also expressed his appreciation for Raffles Hall’s strong support over the years with Blossom Seeds. Every step we take brings us closer in ensuring that no senior is left behind!
