Last Saturday, we had our first in-person event, Education Awards Presentation Ceremony 2022, after more than 2 years of hiatus. The award recognises the efforts and achievements of the children and motivates them in their academic learning and character building, despite their challenges. Close to 200 attendees including the Guest-Of-Honour, Speaker of Parliament and Patron of Club Rainbow, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, our children and their families, Council members, corporate and individual supporters, staff and volunteers attended the ceremony at our new centre, Sandbox.
During the ceremony, Club Rainbow’s mascot, Ray, made its first appearance. At the same time, we witnessed the soft launch of Sandbox – a purpose-built space where children and caregivers can attend programmes and services in a safe environment.
Located within Sandbox are also a digital lab, a visual arts studio and a performing arts studio. With these new facilities, Club Rainbow is set to expand and deepen our engagement with the children and families, through Arts and Vocational Development, two of our core pillars.
Looking ahead, Education will continue to be the cornerstone of our immediate and future plans. We will be having new initiatives to address the diverse needs of the children at different stages of their journey with Club Rainbow, from early childhood to youth, with the clear goal to empower them towards being independent, active contributors in society.
New initiatives launched early this year:
LEAP – Early Intervention catering to the younger children
LEAP – Primary and Secondary for the older children with an aim to maximize their learning developments.
The upcoming initiative, LINK, aims to equip our youths in essential soft skills such as social communications and financial management. These skills will be useful for our youths in their tertiary education journey or when they start working.
In the pipeline is an exciting programme – LAUNCH, to provide opportunities to our youths and caregivers through the development of vocational skills based on individual’s unique abilities, strengths and interests, and eventually, micro-enterprises that aim to provide families with a supplementary source of income.
This year is our 30th Anniversary – a new milestone and exciting chapter for us. We wish to thank everyone for journeying with us. With your unwavering support and contributions, we look forward to continue supporting more children and their families, for many more 30 years to come.

Together, we can Dream the Future!
