Mdm. Yew Poh Chue may be single, but she’s far from being alone. At 68, she’s rewriting what it means to age on your own terms—with purpose, humour, and heart. From quiet independence to discovering connection and joy through Lions Befrienders, Her journey shows that aging isn’t about winding down—it’s about widening your world.
On a typical morning in the community, Alyxandra Xu, 30, makes her way to a senior’s home. She’s not in scrubs, but she carries something just as vital: deep clinical insight, empathy, and a quiet determination to serve. Alyxandra, known affectionately as Aly, is not your typical nurse anymore. Today, she walks a different path, one rooted in presence, understanding, and holistic care as a Social Worker with the Community Case Management Service (CCMS) at Lions Befrienders (LB).
Angeline “Angie” Ang doesn’t come across like someone who’s been a nurse for nearly four decades. She has the energy of someone half her age, a sharp wit, and a laugh that erupts without warning — the kind that fills a room and softens even the toughest people.
For many seniors, loneliness isn’t just an occasional feeling—it’s a daily reality. At Lions Befrienders, we see first-hand how a friendly face and a listening ear can make all the difference.
To Mr. Chong Yoon Soong, better known as Tony, life is like a garden—a delicate balance of growth and decay. After losing his wife and facing a cancer diagnosis, he could have chosen isolation. Instead, he found purpose through volunteering at Lions Befrienders (Active Ageing Centre @ Clementi 366), where he nurtures friendships as naturally as he nurtures plants.
For Mr. Leong Chong Fye, retirement became his most rewarding chapter yet. What began as a search for peaceful days transformed into something far richer at Lions Befrienders (Active Ageing Centre @ Clementi 366).
Have you met someone who wears only handstitched clothing?
When you’ve got a goal and the grit, you can achieve anything. Age, like the old cliché saying, is anything but just numeric!
Watching senior Yeow Yen Lian tirelessly go about carrying out caregiver duties on her daughter …
Imagine spending your life alone, thinking that the world is an unsafe place, and no one is to be trusted…
