UOB x Matchaya | UOB Heartbeat 2024

What an incredibly humbling experience it was to partake in the UOB Heartbeat Programme 2024!

With our mobile tea bar set up in the atrium of UOB Plaza, we were honoured to bring a piece of Matchaya to such a meaningful event.

Before the event began, we conducted a session with the UOB staff on the proper technique for whisking matcha, enabling them to prepare it themselves later on.

We also discussed the health benefits of matcha, emphasising its energy-boosting and stress-reducing properties, which could be particularly beneficial in their daily routines.

The UOB Heartbeat Programme is part of UOB’s flagship regional corporate social responsibility program, established in 2007. This initiative is a demonstration of UOB's commitment to support various causes, primarily focused on art, children, and education.

The event typically involves UOB employees, their families, and sometimes customers and business partners, participating in various physical activities to raise funds for local communities across the regions where UOB operates.

Special mention must be made of the efforts by UOB employees who organised these fundraising activities. Their dedication was palpable, and it was inspiring to see such teamwork in action.

The funds will be channeled through Community Chest to advocate inclusion for people with disabilities, support special needs, and promote educational causes.

As we packed up, we couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event. Today wasn’t just another day at the office for everyone; it was a reminder of the joy that comes from giving, sharing, and connecting.

A big thank you for the opportunity, UOB!
