Rainbow Centre announces Executive Leadership Transition

Rainbow Centre marks an important milestone with the announcement of a carefully planned leadership transition that will carry our mission into its next chapter. Following a rigorous succession planning process led by our Board, Ms Peng Hai Ying has been appointed Executive Director Designate and will assume the role of Executive Director on 1 September 2026.

As we look ahead, we honour Sze Wee for her remarkable 26 years of selfless service and leadership. Under her stewardship, Rainbow Centre evolved from a leading special education provider into a disability organisation supporting persons with disabilities across the lifespan. We are excited to welcome Hai Ying into this role and look forward to the experience, leadership and fresh perspectives she will bring as we continue executing our Future of RC: Vision 2030 Strategic Plan and building a more inclusive Singapore.

Let’s Act for Inclusion!

Inclusion happens when we choose to act!

We believe in creating a society where persons with disabilities are empowered to learn, grow and participate meaningfully in the community. ‘Act for Inclusion’ is a call for us all to step forward as a community to progress inclusion and make more Good Lives possible!

Funds raised through this campaign will go towards addressing critical areas of need like strengthening support for low-resource families, sustaining underfunded vital programmes for adults at risk of social isolation and stressed caregivers, including our new Good Life Hub Day Activity Centre and OOSH Special Student Care centres. Your support also advances research-driven practices and scholarships to develop passionate staff in the sector.

Our Annual Report FY25/26, Towards the Good Life, is out!

It was a year of growth for Rainbow Centre as we continued to strengthen pathways for persons with disabilities across the lifespan. From expanding access to early intervention and strengthening programmes that prepare students for life beyond school, we also grew opportunities for adults to participate, contribute and be more integrated in society.

Inclusion does not happen by chance. It takes a shared commitment to reduce barriers, recognise the value that each person brings to the table and create the opportunities they require to live a life of purpose.

Together with a supportive community like you, we are moving Towards the Good Life – a future where persons with disabilities can find their place and purpose.

Discover the milestones, stories and people behind our work in FY25/26!
