Local business raises cash for Melton day care centre


Seed Social Enterprise, based in Fox Yard off Leicester Street, has supported some of the most complex and vulnerable adults in the community who often cannot access other disability service providers due to the complexities of their needs since being formed in May 2015.
It has now been given £265 by Achieve Mobility, which trades in Market Place, after the business ran a raffle over Christmas and during January with an electric reclining chair and a hamper as prizes.

Karen Williamson, manager of Seed Social Enterprise, praised the Kellys for their support, commenting: “Their knowledge of disability and what assistance and adaptions people need with disabilities has been excellent as they have first-hand experience of caring for someone with disabilities themselves.
"They are friendly and so approachable and often go above and beyond to assist their customers.
"They are also very supportive of other small businesses in the town.”

"I have worked in the industry for eight years having started up a new business with Michelle’s uncle in Nottingham which was very successful.
"We moved from Nottingham to be closer to our daughter in order to help with childcare for our grandson.”
