Mecoco
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the hard work of Mecoco, which is a North Ayrshire-based social enterprise that produces scented candles, melts and diffusers that are made and sold by disabled adults; understands that, by offering workplace volunteer opportunities, it allows its volunteers, irrespective of their level of support need, to improve their employability skills or to gain a meaningful experience; notes that social enterprises such as Mecoco serve as a resource to help tackle loneliness, encourage skill building and allow disabled people in Scotland to reach their potential and make a contribution; recognises that, to celebrate Carers Week 2020, it is giving 350 "We Care" boxes filled with items from Scottish social enterprises and small businesses to unpaid carers who are shielding and have been nominated by the public, and encourages people to nominate any unpaid carers to receive a box in celebration of all that they do as Carers Week 2020 comes to a close.
