Special Needs Cluster is back with Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) 6.0! BBBS is a regular series of Saturdates (playdates held on Saturdays) where children with special needs will attend fun-filled activities. BBBS 6.0 focuses on inclusive volunteering, where we aim to provide a common space for children and youths of varying abilities to intermingle and socialise. For BBBS 6.0, the playdates are planned and organised by youths with special needs (YSNs), alongside their respective volunteer mentors.
