As we are well and truly in the Christmas season, it's been wonderful to see a number of markets popping up around Liverpool. The establishment of these markets not only provides a platform for local creators to share their talents with our broader community but also generates much needed local economic activity. One of these markets was established by Elevate Your Business in partnership with the Uruguayan Club in Hinchinbrook. Sheila Graupera started this initiative as a space where people from our community can share the love and passion for what they love to do and create. I caught up with a couple of Liverpool's youngest entrepreneurs at a recent market day, which coincided with Grandparents Day. I met Scarlett, who makes and markets her own candles at just 8 years old, and Sasha, an 11 year old who creates a variety of gifts that she ships across Australia. They are just a couple of many small business people who are benefiting from this new initiative, and I look forward seeing it go from strength to strength!
