∎ Vivid & Co ― a boutique retail space selling hand made goods produced by people with disability ― is offering a free gift wrapping service to shoppers who purchase their Christmas gifts at any retail business in Kyabram.
Chief executive officer Scott Alexander said the Vivid & Co initiative was a great opportunity to come together as a community and support local shopping.
“Christmas is a busy time of year. Offering a gift wrapping service for goods purchased locally, means we are helping customers and local retail businesses, as well as providing opportunities for adults living with disability to improve their skills and connect with the community,” Alexander said.
Vivid & Co is at 17 Albion St, Kyabram and is open three days a week ― Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am to 2pm. Run by Vivid Participants with assistance from Support Workers, Vivid & Co provides valuable experience and skill development in cash handling, retail sales, product development and customer relations.
Vivid & Co will be Christmas gift wrapping every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from now until Christmas between 10am to 2pm.
“Once your shopping has been done in Kyabram, drop your gifts off to be wrapped at Vivid & Co,” Mr Alexander said.
“While you’re waiting, have a look around at the amazing gifts and homewares made with love by our talented participants.”
Gold coin donations are appreciated.
One-hundred per cent of donations received through the gift wrapping service will go straight back into helping adults with disability lead great lives.
Proceeds from shop sales go back into the business ― producing more products and supporting adults living with disability.
