Nestled within the quiet enclave of Enabling Village, an inclusive community space in Singapore, Bailey & Patch opens its doors as Singapore’s first-of-its-kind pet cafe and grooming centre that doubles as a training opportunity for individuals with special needs and disabilities.
Proving that animal lovers have the biggest hearts, Bailey & Patch seeks to be the enterprise that provides an inclusive space for those in need of valuable life skills, and aims to eliminate the stigma around disabilities with the bonding power of food and the warmth of pets, enabling lives for a more inclusive society.
Empowerment through employment
