21.01.2022 Last week we were invited to the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme for International Day of People with Disability. It was great to have the opportunity to show off the work of Seasons and Otway Kitchen, and to engage with NDIS staff thank you for all the positive responses!

15.01.2022 Seasons Cafes and Catering has started a new initiative which provides Geelong residents with much needed fresh daily market produce, and is also supporting genU employees with disability. Supported employees have been picking and packing the orders which can include fresh fruit and veggies, as well as pantry staples such as rice, pasta, flour and sugar. The boxes are available to order online, with home delivery and pick up options available.... Visit seasonscatering.foodstorm.com/ite/category/fruit-veg-pantry to place an order.

14.01.2022 ‘Look at the ability, then the disability that’s my philosophy. There’s no such word in my vocabulary as can’t.’ Murray works in the business solutions warehouse. He enjoys his work because he develops skills and teaches them to others, he earns a wage and ‘it gets me out of bed in the morning’. ‘If a pallet comes in in the morning and goes out finished at the end of the day, it gives me a sense of achievement.’ ... Murray has also recently taken part in a pop-up station, where he’s been able to show off his impressive basket weaving skills, which have been used to create hampers. Murray’s attitude is a key part in his continually growing skill set and his successes. ‘I could sit in the corner and cry that I’m blind or I can do the best that I can do.’ ‘International Day of People with Disability is so the public can see they’re no different to us. It’s about breaking down the barriers. It’s a day for people to be accepted for who they are.’ Today we’re celebrating International Day of People with Disability by hearing from some of the hard-working supported employees from around genU Business Enterprises.

13.01.2022 Well done to our amazing vegie processing and Seasons teams who have been working hard over the holiday period!

13.01.2022 With a little bit of innovation and adaptation, we're still kick-starting the careers of people living with disability! When our team at Seasons Cafes and Catering were faced with the closure of their core business due to COVID-19 restrictions, they very quickly adapted their services. Now they're delivering boxes of fresh fruit, veg, pantry staples and home-made meals to the community!
