This is a community listing shared through Helping Hands. Please check the details with the organiser before attending.
Sit with a senior for an hour and help them with a phone: video calls with grandchildren, SingPass, banking and WhatsApp. Pick the language you are comfortable in; we have seniors who speak English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil and dialects. Quiet patience matters more than tech skill. Training evening provided.
No contact details provided.
Before you go
Meet at a public place or a community centre. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay before you have met. Never share your OTP, Singpass or bank details. If something feels wrong, report it.
Kallang Skills Exchange
A group of working professionals and retirees in Kallang, Bendemeer and Geylang who share what they know for free. We run Digital Buddies, where volunteers sit one-to-one with seniors to set up phones, banking apps and video calls; Job Ready Saturdays, with CV clinics and mock interviews for jobseekers of any age; and a fortnightly Language Cafe where people practise English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil over coffee. We meet in the common room at a Bendemeer rental block and the community club library. Nobody pays and nobody is tested; you simply turn up.

Spend three hours keeping an elderly person company at home while their caregiver rests. You will chat, share a snack or do a puzzle together. You are never alone with medical tasks, and we do a short training evening and match you with a family close to you. Commit to one morning a week for three months.

One weekday morning a week
Free respite for people looking after someone at home. A trained, friendly volunteer spends three hours with your loved one while you rest, run errands or sleep.
