BOTH SIDES, NOW is a community engagement project about what it means to live well, and leave well. Dying is a natural part of life, but many of us are afraid to talk about it. What are our options if we want to die with dignity? How can we plan for the end, regardless of our age? How can we talk to our loved ones about our values and choices?

Let's Talk about Plastic Pollution

Join Lush and our friends at Seven Clean Seas, as we gather the community to shed more light upon the global plastic problem. We aim to raise awareness about the impacts of single-use plastics on the ocean and its marine life. As Singapore is surrounded by neighbouring countries with mass plastic consumption, our tiny red dot gets heavily affected by all the pollution that gets washed up along our shores.

We’ve tried alternative packaging and going β€˜naked’, but it’s still not enough. Let’s tackle the issue together and discuss more ways for our communities and for the whole nation to seek alternatives and prevent single-use plastic consumption.

In Search of Purpose #24 - Behind the Laughter: An Evening with Irene Ang

In Jan 2015, Central Singapore Community Development Council (CDC) launched the In Search of Purpose Talk Series (ISOP), a TED-style inspirational talk series that seeks to help adults and youth discover their bigger role in society. Speakers, either local or overseas, are invited to share their personal stories and experiences about various topics that we hope will encourage the audience members to give back and be part of a more caring community in Singapore.

Join us this time, with guest speaker Irene Ang. Irene Ang became a household name in Singapore (and some say Malaysia) as Rosie Phua in Singapore's longest-running sitcom β€˜Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd. More information about her can be found in the link below.
