Share a Pot: Brewing a Compassionate Society in Singapore

Share a Pot® is a community based project to improve the nutrition of seniors. It is founded on the principles of good nutrition (protein and calcium), coupled with physical activity in a social environment to ‘build bones, brawn (muscle), brain (cognitive reserve) and bonds (social engagement)’. Share a Pot leverages our Asian culture of eating together and fond memories of traditional family reunions around a pot of nutritious home-cooked soup. This encourages seniors to eat better with others, be more active by exercising in a group, and emotionally healthier as they make new friends and contribute as volunteers.

 

In 2017, Share a Pot contended with more than 150 global submissions to emerge as one of the six winners of the ‘World Design Guide Social Impact Prize’. Share a Pot was recognised for its approach to addressing frailty in modern Singapore.

 

To date, our community partners have registered over 1300 participants since 2014 and about 700 regularly attend Share a Pot at 25 active sites. Ultimately, Share a Pot hopes to kindle a sense of community and create local communities that give and receive. For more information, visit
