SINGAPORE – Almost every day, stroke survivor April Kwek makes the 45-minute journey from her home in Boon Lay to the Enabling Village in Redhill to join wellness activities such as adaptative table tennis and seated tai chi.

“It’s like my second home – I meet so many friends here,” said Madam Kwek, 58, of the inclusive community space in Lengkok Bahru, which repurposed the old Bukit Merah Vocational Institute. “This place has everything, including cafes.”
