Mother’s Day – the one day every year where we get to shower our mothers in love and affection the way they love us every day. This day’s all about treating and celebrating the wonderful women who raised, loved and tolerated us.
Make this Mother’s Day truly memorable by planning a special activity that will create a unique bonding experience for both you and your mum. Why not consider volunteering together? Support a cause that is close to your mum’s heart and work as a team to elevate your day out to one filled with joy and satisfaction.
To start off, here are 4 fun activities that you can volunteer for this Mother’s Day with your mum:
1) Read and Express with Children

Remember those times when your mum would read bedtime stories with animated gestures for you? Relive those memories with Mum with a rewarding volunteering experience at SG Cares Volunteer Centre @ Jurong!
Their “Gift of Reading” and “Gift of Expression” programmes provide preschool and lower primary children with interactive activities promoting self-expression, confidence, creativity, and proficiency in English language. Make up rhymes with the kids and read stories to them as they engage in these enriching activities.
This Mother’s Day, celebrate the memories you and Mum share by volunteering. Choose from these two volunteer programs and create a lasting impact on young minds.
2) Engage In Leisure Activities With Seniors

Do you and Mum enjoy art, music or gardening? If so, join SG Cares Volunteer Centre @ Bukit Batok on a volunteer driven programme to enrich the lives of the elderly at St Luke’s Hospital, a community hospital located in the heart of Bukit Batok.
Unleash your creativity with art, put on your dancing shoes or maybe play a ukelele, or connect with nature by gardening. Most importantly, have fun with the seniors and help them to de-stress while bonding with your mum!
With these volunteering activities, Mother’s Day will be both fun and meaningful to your mum and the seniors at St Luke’s Hospital.
3) Build A Playground Together

Live out your childhood dream with Mum, where together, you build a sustainable playground made from upcycled materials!
Organised by SG Cares Volunteer Centre @ Yishun, this volunteer project gives a new life to supplies that would otherwise be discarded as “trash”. Building this playground involves exciting hands-on activities like painting, sanding, hammering and more!
No specific skills are needed and you can even bring the entire family along to celebrate Mother’s Day together.
4) Teach Photography to Youths With Disabilities
Are you and your mum photography enthusiasts and hobbyists? ‘Y’ Photography is a program set up by YMCA where youths with special needs can explore their passion for photography and unlock their creative potential.
Discover the art of photography and make a difference in the lives of these youths by bringing Mum along. Together, you can guide these young photographers how to capture the beauty of the world through the lens of a digital camera.
It’s an opportunity to spend quality time with Mum while volunteering your photography skills with ‘Y’ Photography. Let’s make every shot count!
Express your love for your mum on Mother’s Day by volunteering together at these events and grow your heart for giving!
