The South East CDC has established a Community Outreach Programme for the Elderly (COPE) since 1999.

Under this programme, our volunteers befriend and look after the elderly, many of whom are single or living alone, within rental flats. The programme is currently 1,800 volunteer strong.

One group of COPE volunteers have set up a coffee service for the elderly at Tg Rhu in a converted bin centre. They call it affectionately, as the COFFEE BIN.

The COFFEE BIN is open daily from 3.30pm to 5.30pm to the elderly in the area. They are served coffee and snacks.

Volunteers are needed to talk to the elderly, conduct games and even simple language lessons at the COFFEE BIN.
