Make Care Count... in the National Budget

On 5 October, join us to devise concrete recommendations for AWARE to submit to the 2020 National Budget to ask the Singapore government to recognise and alleviate the financial cost of caregiving that family caregivers bear.

From your experiences, ideas and opinions, we'll generate a list of budget recommendations. AWARE will then curate and raise these to the government in January 2020.
