<p>Residents&rsquo; suggestions and feedback help ensure that neighbourhood improvement projects meet the needs and
aspirations of our communities. Volunteers will work with HDB to plan and execute engagement activities
involving residents in determining the usage of spaces and the type of improvement works in their neighbourhood.
These engagement activities include facilitating focus group discussions and workshops, or interviewing
residents at pop-up roadshows and house visits.</p>

<h3>Past Projects</h3>
<p><span class="Body-Bold">Build-a-Playground @ Canberra Project</span></p>
<p>Volunteers joined us in engaging Canberra (Sembawang) residents in designing and building Singapore&rsquo;s first
public community-built playground. Through interviews, a pop-up roadshow, and a design workshop, the volunteers
solicited ideas and suggestions from the residents for the theme, design, play components, and name of the
playground. With the help of our volunteers, we successfully co-built Singapore&rsquo;s first public
community-built playground with over 2,000 residents.</p>
