SINGAPORE: The Children’s Aid Society held its ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of Melrose Village on March 27.
The facility, which will be built on the site of the charity’s old Melrose Home premises at 503 Clementi Road, is a residential care service and counselling centre for children and young people who have been through abuse or neglect.
When completed, it will feature a home-like environment for children and young people who have experienced trauma, with conducive spaces for studying and recreation, as well as easy access to professional therapy, said Mr Alvin Goh, executive director of the Children’s Aid Society.
