We are a group of volunteers from the Toa Payoh Central Community Club Youth Executive Committee. We launched our community service club – “The Starlight Club”, under the youth group on Sunday, 15th March 2009. In our efforts to promote greater inclusivity in the community, we have initiated a pilot project to establish and provide support to youths with special needs in the community (i.e. Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC) by:- a) providing the liaison between special schools and community to ensure that youths with special needs continue to have meaningful social activities and social support after they leave schools; b) organizing suitable activities for diverse groups of beneficiaries with different needs; c) connecting existing community support groups with beneficiaries. One of our ongoing projects is to organise activities for youth with special needs in shared public spaces, such as the community clubs. This will allow our youth with special needs to have access to social and recreational opportunities outside of the institutions. We hope to create an infrastructure of community- based support (rather than institutional based) that will heighten public awareness towards a more inclusive society. We are looking for young people, or the young at heart to contribute their time and efforts to assisting youths with special needs to integrate into the community.
