“Great organisation doing great work for the special needs community. Staff and volunteer are patient and know how to handle the participants very well. Location wise, accessible by public transport but will need to walk in from the main road. Quite a number of buses pass by here but for MRT (Caldecott Station) will need to make quite a distance walk.”
