Lions Club members regularly embark on charity drives to raise funds for the Home. They also administer services in their own field of expertise, to improve the condition and running of the Home.

The home is affiliated to the National Council of Social Service. It does not have any financial assistance from the Community Chest. Operations are subsidized by the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Our first community Home for the aged destitute and older persons began in January 1980. It was situated at the void deck of a Housing and Development Board block at Ang Mo Kio, Avenue 10.

The Ang Mo Kio Home provided free lodging for nine male and female residents, in two independent dormitories under the supervision of a trained staff nurse. Activities were organized for the residents, including befriending by the Lions Club members, school volunteers and members of the community. The Ang Mo Kio Home remained operational until 1998.

Lions Befrienders Service Association (Singapore)

The Lions Befrienders is a Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs) initially set up as a joint project of the Lions Clubs of Singapore North, Serangoon Gardens and Stamford on 20th June 1994.

It was officially registered with the Registrar of Societies on 10 April 1995 and gazette on 21 April 1995. It started functioning on the premises of the Ministry of Community Development and Sports on 1 December 1994 and the Befrienders Service was officially handed over to the LIONS on 1 July 1995.

In 1999, the Lions Befrienders programmed became a Lions district project. Since then, our name has been changed to the Lions Befrienders Service Association (Singapore) or Lions Befrienders for short.

The programmed has a long history in caring for and assisting the elderly to cope with the demands of daily living, enabling them to continue living in a familiar environment for as long as possible. From a pilot project in June 1982, it has evolved over time and today the Lions Befrienders oversees lonely elderly in every constituency.

Currently, the head office of the Lions Befrienders is located at Bukit Merah and we have 4 other centers to cater to the different needs of the elderly...

Today with more than 46,000 clubs in 192 countries and geographical areas, Lions have expanded their focus to help meet the ever-increasing needs of our global community.

Our programs are continually changing to meet new needs and greater demands, but our mission has never wavered: "We Serve."
