The humble but colourful lollipop that never fails to bring a smile to its recipient will drive SPD’s “Have a Sweet Day” campaign, organised in conjunction with #GivingTuesdaySG which falls on 2 December this year.
To raise funds so that programmes and services are accessible and affordable for persons with disabilities, SPD is reaching out to the community through a network of over 60 participating hotels and food and beverages outlets across the island. Patrons who make a donation of $2 or more to SPD at these outlets will receive a lollipop in appreciation of their contribution. #GivingTuesdaySG is a call to action for Singaporeans to give their time, money or voice to the less fortunate.

An idea mooted by a moving speech became the inspiration for a group of volunteers, including the late philanthropist Tan Sri Dr Tay Teck Eng, to set up a voluntary welfare organisation (VWO) in 1964. Known as SPD today, the organisation looked after the interests of those with physical disabilities and provided them social support and employment opportunities.
In the years that followed, SPD grew to become an important social service provider and advocate for the disability community. To mark its 50th year, close to 400 guests including staff, beneficiaries, donors, volunteers, partners and representatives from Government agencies and other VWOs joined SPD in the celebration of this important milestone at a gala dinner held at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in attendance.
