SINGAPORE -
Media OutReach Newswire - 20 April 2026 -
Xin Yuan Comcare Ltd announces the launch of its inaugural
National Bingo Day for Seniors 2026, set to take place on
27 June 2026 (Saturday), from 9.00am to 11.30am at
Plaza@128 (covered space in front of Blk 128 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh).
More than just a game, the initiative brings people together to support
seniors who may be facing loneliness and everyday challenges, while
giving them something to look forward to.
The event will be graced by
Guest of Honour Mr Chee Hong Tat, Minister for National Development, highlighting the importance of community-led efforts in supporting vulnerable seniors.
At the core of the campaign is a simple yet impactful fundraising model.
Corporates and individuals are invited to contribute S$500 (tax-deductible donation) to provide
12 months of groceries for one senior, with a target of
benefiting at least 288 seniors through this initiative.
Designed as both a celebratory and socially driven initiative, National
Bingo Day for Seniors aims to address pressing issues faced by
Singapore's ageing population, including loneliness, social isolation,
and ongoing daily needs such as access to essentials. By blending a fun,
inclusive event with a clear social impact model, Xin Yuan hopes to
create meaningful change for seniors in need.
“This initiative is more than just an event. It is really about reminding people that our seniors still need us,” said
Mr Randy Ang, President of Xin Yuan Comcare Ltd. “Over
the years, we have met seniors who have families and children who are
doing well, but for different reasons, they are often left on their own
or do not receive the time and care they need. Some end up turning to
Xin Yuan not just for support, but for companionship and a sense of
belonging. That is why community care is so important. Through this
initiative, we hope more people will step forward to show that our
seniors are not alone, and that they are still valued and cared for.”
A key highlight of the campaign is its strong intergenerational component, with
students from Catholic Junior College actively participating in
the programme. Their involvement reflects a shared commitment to support
community care and meaningful youth engagement.
“Through this initiative, CJCians have the opportunity to engage
meaningfully with seniors, building empathy and forging genuine
intergenerational connections, thereby living the Catholic Ethos which
include respecting the human dignity of others, working in solidarity
with others in society to build the common good,” said Mrs Woo Soo Min, Principal of Catholic Junior College.
“These formative experiences go beyond service, developing students as
servant leaders. In doing so, they grow in empathy, social
responsibility and a deeper commitment to caring for the community."
Xin Yuan is also calling for broad-based support from corporates, individual donors, community organisations, and volunteers,
offering opportunities for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
collaboration, fundraising partnerships, volunteering, and sponsorships.
The organisation is currently seeking title sponsors, anchor
sponsors, and product sponsors to help deliver a successful event and
extend its reach and impact.
With a clear and measurable social outcome, National Bingo Day for
Seniors 2026 presents a credible and meaningful platform for community
engagement, uniting stakeholders across sectors to support seniors in a
tangible way.
Further details on event programming, partnerships, and participation will be announced in the
lead-up to June 2026.
