Community carers and the homeless are among those to be supported by businesses using funding delivered by the University of Kent during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Nadia Esi<\/a> is a start-up business founded by Kent Business School<\/a> student Nadia Simpson. The \u00a3500 grant received by Nadia Esi was used to produce and donate 100 hand sanitizers to community care companies.<\/p>\n

Nadia, who is currently studying Accounting and Finance<\/a>, said: \u201cWe should all applaud the work being done by our amazing key workers to care for high-risk elderly people during the pandemic. I am pleased Nadia Esi was able to support them during this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Canterbury, The Ambrette<\/a> used their funding to provide 275 hot healthy meals for people being supported by the Catching Lives<\/a> homeless charity and hot meals for NHS hospital staff.<\/p>\n

The funding came through emergency response grants provided by Santander Universities<\/a>, one of the University of Kent<\/a>\u2019s key partners.<\/p>\n

Ambrette owner and chef, Dev Biswal, said: \u201cWe are together in supporting the amazing work being done at Catching Lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
