Collection Cares

Into our second year of collaboration with National Heritage Board’s HeritageCares initiative, about 40 members participated in their signature programme ‘Collection Cares’ on 31 January 2025. Under the guidance of students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Arts Business Management course, our members age 50 and above, had a lovely time reminiscing their childhood and created artwork that reminded them of their favourite memories.

On 19 April 2025, Wicare organised an engaging and practical session on Generative AI. Volunteer speaker, Alvin Toh, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Straits Interactive, guided the participants to explore how AI technology can assist with everyday tasks, memory preservation, and creative expression in a simple and accessible way. Through live demonstrations, Alvin showed how easy it is to use Generative AI for both practical and personal needs. The lively and informative session sparked much interest among the participants to learn more about AI.

A sea of red greeted our Guest-of-Honour, Mr Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, and his entourage as they arrived in 15 Vespa sidecars. The event was kindly sponsored by Singapore Sidecars and attended by 50 of our members and children, making it a vibrant and memorable outing. We are deeply grateful to Minister of State, Mr Alvin Tan, for taking time to connect with our widows and children. Special thanks also to Mr Simon Wong, Founder of Singapore Sidecars, for including our Wicare family in this milestone launch.
