Telegram Channels That Will Make Life Easier For Any Parent
Want to stay up-to-date on the latest baby fairs? How about the newest family-friendly activities? These Telegram channels are for you.
By Terri Kue -
Telegram is a messaging app widely used by Singapore millennials (aged 26 to 41) for good reason. The stickers are cute, the interface is customisable, and it's a great platform to find out the latest news in town.
In Singapore alone, you can join many Telegram channels that will make life much easier for parents. There are those with updates on family-friendly activities to do, information on the latest sales, and more. Keep reading to find out our recommendations as well as for the links to join the channels.
SG Parent Things is the channel to join if you are looking for an all-in-one option that has everything a parent would need.
Look forward to receiving news on back-to-school fairs, bargains on baby essentials, toy carnivals, beauty sales, and more! The channel also updates members on family-friendly activities happening across the island; so you can forget about looking through Google for your next family activity. If you are someone who likes to join giveaways and test your luck, you can take part in the occasional giveaways that are featured on the channel as well.

Parent Code may seem similar to SG Parent Things. However, we find that Parent Code has a heavier focus on things to do with the little ones. (However, it still does send updates for things such as mum fairs and certain sales.)
Keep up to date with family-friendly happenings all around Singapore. From SCDF open houses to inflatable obstacle parks, you'll never have to wonder what's happening on the island. Apart from time-based events, Parent Code also mentions permanent spaces you can bring your kids. This includes a bunch of unique Singapore playgrounds that children will love.
This channel is perfect for you if your little ones are always asking to go out on weekends.
From time to time, Parent Code also features restaurants that allow kids to eat for free, which is always welcome if you have many mouths to feed.

Good-2-Go is often dubbed as a channel to find date activities. However, many of them are suitable for families as well! Stay in the know about fun places you can take the kids to, nature corridors that have just been opened, exhibitions in the National Museum of Singapore, and more.
On the other hand, there is nothing stopping you from using the channel to plan your dates with your partner! Sometimes, it can seem like the spark between the both of you is muted after having kids. You can use the channel suggestions to change that and reignite the flame with a night out alone (with the children at their grandparents' place!).

Let's take the focus off the kids for a second and focus on you. As a mum, it can be hard to indulge yourself, especially since looking after kids is a full-time job. But take it from us: mums need self-care too, and if you love retail therapy, SG Budget Babes is the channel for you.
It updates members on beauty sales, free samples to be had, credit card deals, and more. So you can now treat yourself while knowing that you're getting a great steal.

Does your family regularly go exercising together? Or maybe you and the little ones are sports fanatics. If you fit the bill, then Fitness Level Up is your perfect match.
Full of updates on discounted sportswear, you will have all the information you need on the latest sales from brands such as Foot Locker and Adidas. You can also keep a lookout for the different gyms and studios they share about - some of them even come with free trial lessons.
And of course, the channel features sports activities that you and the kids can take part in. So if you're looking for a new park to walk in or night rides to cycle, this channel has it all.

Let's be real: taking care of kids adds up, and any way to save money is welcome. If grocery runs are racking up the bills, how about buying 'ugly' food instead?
UglyFood Fresh Produce is a channel that sells perfectly edible 'ugly' food that retailers would normally throw away. The best part? The foods go at largely discounted rates (we are talking Sunkist oranges going at $1.95 for one kg).
The group running the channel offers deliveries as well as self-collection from their physical store.
