Our Senior Champion
Mr Goh Leng Seng, 67, has been an invaluable member of LB AAC @ Ghim Moh 18 since joining in 2021.
Seeking to stay engaged within his community in his retirement years, Mr Goh quickly found his niche as a vibrant and proactive senior at the AAC.
With his natural affinity for connecting with fellow seniors, Mr Goh cuts a popular figure at the centre.
His jovial personality and penchant for cracking jokes have often helped to liven up the atmosphere, encouraging greater participation in the AAC programmes.
A keen eye for detail and willingness to help have also made him a welcome presence during activities such as exercises, where out of his own accord, he guides seniors along with certain movements and postures.
Recognising his positive impact, Mr Goh was recommended to serve as a Senior Champion about two years ago, a role he enthusiastically embraced.
As a Senior Champion, he leads groups during AAC outings, ensuring the safety and well-being of the seniors under his care.
Mr Goh views his role as one that complements the AAC staff, understanding the importance of Senior Champions in managing various aspects of AAC programmes given the staff’s limited resources.
Mr Goh’s dedication to establishing a family-like atmosphere at LB AAC @ Ghim Moh 18 has not gone unnoticed.
During LB’s Appreciation & Awards 2023, he was honoured with the “Special Senior Volunteer of the Year” award, recognising his outstanding efforts as a Senior Champion.
“My heart is here,” Mr Goh says about the AAC. “I just want to do my part to serve in this big family so that the seniors will like to return.”
