About the Charity Walk
The annual Community Chest Heartstrings Walk is back again after another successful year 2015 where more than 8,500 people walked as one for a charitable cause on the first morning of the Jubilee Weekend on Friday, 7 August. This included 1,800 beneficiaries – comprising of youth, families, seniors and persons with disabilities – and caregivers from over 60 charities supported by Community Chest.
This year, expect the same if not much more excitement at the walk where family and friends can come together for a good cause, create priceless memory to walk in support of an inclusive nation.
All donations, including the SGD10 registration fee, will be channeled to charities supported by the Community Chest.

attended this 2x in the past and including this year 2016 version, is my 3rd with my little boy :)
ReplyDeletei must say that this years' version seems boring and organiser put dirty inflatables and kind of disappointed at how they manage the queue and even rejected my 3yo kid by shouting. I am least impressed with such and if they are volunteers, they ought to get some good training or if they are staffs, I must say that they need to be more trained.
overall, i feel it was not as good as what i had in the past for this event. many ppl seems scattered.
The kids played 2 games i think, I wasn't there coz I was queuing to collect the goodie bag so not sure the condition of the inflatables etc. Maybe you should leave a comment on their facebook page so that they know and will improve on the overall event.
