Impacting the Community through TOUCHpoint@Marine Parade
The launch of TOUCHpoint@Marine Parade would create a community activation node for children, youths, and families to be engaged and empowered. Through initiatives like TOUCH Young Arrows and Youthphoria, we will mentor children and youths during their formative years. Parent empowerment groups will also be available to offer support and guidance on families’ parenting journey.
We are committed to enhancing digital and mental wellbeing as well, and will introduce a Digital-Mental Wellness Lab. This is an experiential space that allows individuals to better understand the impact of digital experiences on their mental wellbeing through an interconnected journey.

Loi Jun Hao, 23, joined TOUCH Young Arrows (TYA) since the start of his primary school. His parents were in a financially tight situation then, working long hours and in challenging conditions to make ends meet. With long hours at work, they had little time for Jun Hao. Growing up, he would often spend more time with his peers than his parents.
Jun Hao struggled with his studies, and it was at TYA that the volunteers who mentored him not only helped his grades improve but supported him in growing his behaviour and character from a rowdy child to a mature and self-disciplined youth.
Jun Hao shares, “TYA played a crucial role in my maturity in the midst of ‘fending’ for myself in the early days.”
Jun Hao started serving in TYA after entering Secondary School. He was also appointed as the Club Leader of TYA Mountbatten Club.
“My greatest reward in serving the children is to see them grow up and improve week by week.” Jun Hao recalls with pride.
Jun Hao did exceedingly well in his Polytechnic studies in Optometry and is currently pursuing a university degree in Nursing in NUS (year 2).
