For Adults with Disabilities and Special Needs
Enabling Services Hubs (ESHs) offer community support for persons with disabilities and their caregivers closer to their homes. The establishment of ESHs is part of efforts under the Enabling Masterplan 2030 and takes a regional approach to bring community support services closer to the homes of persons with disabilities and their caregivers.
By joining an ESH, persons with physical impairments and their caretakers will have opportunities to participate in sport and fitness activities.
Enabling Services Hubs are currently located in Jurong, Punggol and Tampines.
