M.PATHY, which stands for the Marine Parade Caregiver Clubhouse, provides a welcoming space where caregivers can take a break from their caregiving responsibilities, connect with others and participate in programmes that support their well-being and skills development.
The Recharge Lounge offers caregivers a place to take a break and recharge.
The clubhouse also provides counselling, group training and respite services to help caregivers better manage their responsibilities.

Supporting caregiving communities
Beyond supporting M.PATHY, Singapore Pools continues to support caregiving communities through partnerships and initiatives that recognise the important role caregivers and healthcare professionals play in society. These include supporting Dementia Go-To Points through the Dementia-Friendly Singapore initiative, as well as partnering with the Caregiving Welfare Association (CWA) and our authorised retailers to sell donation tickets for CWA's Charity Draw. Funds raised support CWA's programmes and services for seniors and caregivers, helping seniors age in place and maintain their independence for as long as possible.
Singapore Pools also recognises the dedication of nursing professionals. In conjunction with Nurses' Day in 2022, more than 40,000 Kopitiam cards preloaded with credits were distributed to nursing professionals across Singapore as a gesture of appreciation for their hard work and commitment.
Through these initiatives, Singapore Pools continues to work with community partners to support caregivers, seniors and healthcare professionals, helping to build a more caring and connected society.
