Episode Synopsis

🎧 Spotlight on Active Ageing: House of Joy What do models on the catwalk, calligraphy, and community breakfasts have in common? They’re all part of the vibrant world at House of Joy, one of Singapore’s pioneering active ageing centres that’s redefining what it means to grow older. We step into the inspiring life of 72-year-old Mildred Soong, a proud grandmother who’s traded in her quiet retirement for Zumba Gold, Low Impact Aerobics, and her first-ever catwalk debut! From new friends to volunteer missions and delicious cooking classes, Mildred’s journey captures the essence of what active ageing can look like when community, care, and creativity come together. Singapore Home Brew Segment host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk with Kenny Low, Executive Director of City Harvest Community Services Association, as he shares the vision behind House of Joy—and their mission to build a nationwide network of seniors living their best lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
