I FEEL I must congratulate Runcorn entrepreneur Laura Green on her enterprising business.
I called in today to see her fashion accessory shop at The Box in Runcorn Shopping Centre and was really impressed.
Laura has Down’s syndrome, but she doesn’t let this hold her back.
She always wanted to run her own business. Now She is not only selling a range of jewellery, bags and scarves, she has also created job opportunities for 12 young people with learning needs.
Laura is providing them with work placements.
Too often people are quick to judge adults with disabilities and not expect them to achieve much, yet they are far more capable than many of us ever imagine.
Let’s all support Laura’s tremendous efforts.
Moira Woods, Beechwood, Runcorn
