In the lead-up to the National Day Parade (NDP) 2025, HMI Institute supported the NDP Committee to strengthen emergency preparedness among volunteers. More than 150 individuals are equipped with CPR and AED training, gaining the confidence and skills to act in an emergency.

As Singapore came together to celebrate SG60, this initiative underscored the importance of being ready to care for one another when it matters most. Volunteers, many of whom supported the parade behind the scenes, left the training empowered to safeguard their fellow Singaporeans should urgent situations arise.

This training formed part of HMI Institute’s broader support for NDP 2025, which also included engaging volunteer networks and bringing outreach efforts to heartland celebrations. Each initiative was guided by our mission to care, educate and empower, and our belief that every Singaporean has a role to play in building a prepared and compassionate society.

Since 2002, HMI Institute has remained committed to strengthening community readiness through training and education. As we mark SG60 together, we continue to take steps towards a future where lifesaving knowledge and confidence are shared widely across the community.
