Chairman’s Message
2014 has been a fruitful year for Loving Heart
Multi-Service Centre (Jurong) in our efforts to
reach out to more residents in Jurong GRC
and Yuhua SMC.
Project Big Heart, a major initiative for the year
was launched in collaboration with Jurong Central
GRC and Fullerton Healthcare under the able
guidance of our Adviser, Mr Ang Wei Neng, and
MP for Jurong GRC in January 2015. This free
medical service benefits Pioneer Generation
/Community Health Assist Scheme card holders
who have chronic illnesses.
Our school based programmes have been constantly
expanding and improving to reach out to more
students who require support and care from us.
Pupil Breakfast Scheme (PBS) is expanding
assistance to more schools. PBS now covers all
Primary and Secondary Schools in Jurong GRC
and Yuhua SMC, including 2 Special Needs
Schools. This year we have catered for 745 students
over 22 schools. We are inspired to do more as we
see the growing needs.
We intend to grow our free tuition programme to
accommodate more needy children. Thus, we are
considering the possibility of partnering with other
VWOs in Jurong to expand this service.
In addition, we also intend to launch the
community-based S.T.A.M.P. and S.T.R.I.V.E. in
partnership with other Grassroots organisations in
Jurong.

Project Big Heart
This was a combine effort between Jurong
Central, Fullerton Healthcare and Loving
Heart Multi-Service Centre (Jurong).
This project was initiated to assist needy
individuals, holding either CHAS or Pioneer
Generation (PG) cards. Individuals who
were diagnosed with chronic diseases would
be given free consultation and medicine
every 3 months.
A small fee was imposed to those who were
not under the CHAS and PG schemes. The
flat fee was inclusive of consultation and
medication
17000 information packs were distributed to
all the residents of Jurong Central to notify
them about this outreach programme. A total
of 199 residents came forward for the
registration.
There would be a total of 4 sessions during
the year of 2015.

medical fees for many of the lower income
residents.

Healthcare. Mr Ang Wei Neng, MP for Jurong GRC, played an instrumental role in linking
up all 3 organisations to make this event a success.

Loving Heart’s Sports, Tuition and
Mentoring Programme (S.T.A.M.P) has been
serving children and youth since 13 February
2006. S.T.A.M.P was established to reach out
to needy students identified in their
respective Primary and Secondary school
environments. It aims to foster healthy and
positive holistic development in the areas of
physical and socio-emotional well-being
from exposure to sports, tuition and group
mentoring activities.
S.T.R.I.V.E was eventually initiated in
March 2011 to serve as a 3-year continued
enhancement to S.T.A.M.P. It embodies the
following objectives:
The extended period promotes sustainable
support and growth to students. It has also
enabled Loving Heart to monitor the progress
of the student on effectiveness of the
programme on a long-term basis.
Both S.T.A.M.P & S.T.R.I.V.E comprise of a
3-component package of sports, tuition and
group mentoring sessions. These sessions are
held weekly within school premises
throughout the year, which amounts to about
20 sessions for each component.

Tentative Plans
Loving Heart is looking at expanding its S.T.A.M.P Programme to cater to the Jurong
community. The Community S.T.A.M.P initiative was proposed during our recent Task Force
Committee meeting, which was set up to review our existing programmes and determine the
future direction of Loving Heart. Community S.T.A.M.P will serve children and youth who
have not enrolled in S.T.A.M.P with our partnering schools.
