About Uplift For Life

Organised by Care Corner Singapore, our 'Uplift For Life' fundraising campaign rallies Singaporeans to come together to support us in helping individuals and families  break the cycles of poverty, poor health, social isolation or mental health issues – and uplift them for life.

It all started with our work to support families and seniors in need. We found that for many of our service users, their challenges perpetuate through generations. Most forms of support were often short-term solutions that rarely help address root causes of deep-seated issues such as poverty, family violence, mental health challenges, and poor health.

They were oftentimes, stuck in cycles for generations.

So we began looking at how we could invest in long-term preventive and developmental programmes, that could help uplift families and seniors for life and even across generations.

We cannot do this alone. With your support and trust, we can curate more impactful programmes and expand our reach. Thank you for believing in our cause.

What They All Have In Common
They all have different needs and different challenges.
But the one thing they have in common is the heavy burden that weighs down their daily life and keeps them trapped in cycles.

Invest in our work that is aimed at breaking these cycles

Why Rucking?

Rucking is a form of low-impact exercise that entails walking while carrying a weighted backpack. 5kg is the load we have chosen to carry at our Ruckathon. Yet for many of our beneficiaries and their caregivers, the loads on their shoulders are not for them to choose.

From dealing with financial stressors, mental health concerns, and frailty issues to caregiving challenges, these burdens can be too heavy to bear on their own.

Through the Ruckathon, we hope to rally the community together to show our support by carrying weighted backpacks that represents our beneficiaries' burdens - symbolising the sharing and lightening of their troubles and loads.
