S P Setia Foundation Spreads Festive Joy With Old Folks’ Home

S P Setia Foundation, S P Setia’s charity arm made Chinese New Year more meaningful for the senior residents of an old folks’ home in Semenyih, Selangor with a special visit and delivery of gift bags contributed by the Foundation and the staff of Team Setia.

To accelerate the efforts of its ‘Sincerely Setia’ campaign and share festive joy, the Foundation delivered gift bags to 36 senior residents of the non-profit Joy Garden Old Folks’ Home on 2 February 2023 which contained toiletries and essentials such as pyjamas, socks, a bath towel, face towel, shampoo, shower gel, toilet rolls, instant oat drinks sponsored by OatLife and biscuits.

“In conjunction with the festive season, we brought some gifts prepared by S P Setia Foundation as well as members of Team Setia including food and toiletries which we hoped would be helpful for the senior residents,” said S P Setia Foundation Trustee Dr Azura Mansor.

The event organised was in line with the Foundation’s second Trust Object, which is to provide assistance in meeting the needs of those Malaysians who are underprivileged, disabled, poverty-stricken or critically ill, we hope to help more communities in need in the future through our on-ground activities such as ‘Sincerely Setia’.

Through this programme, S P Setia Foundation is also supporting the less abled community by purchasing socks to be included in the gift bags, which were made by the residents from Lovely Disabled HOME.

A special physiotherapy talk for the senior residents was also conducted by physiotherapist Mr Eman Yazid along with demonstrations of light exercises that help maintain joint health. Dr Azura Mansor, who is also an orthopaedic surgeon, shared some advice on stretching exercises for the elderly to maintain and strengthen bone health.

Dato’ Halipah binti Esa, one of the Board of Directors of S P Setia Berhad, was also present to support this charitable effort and presented a token of appreciation to James Yong who runs the Home.
