CareTrade has been founded as a registered charity to change the lives of school leavers and adults with autism by creating innovative services, meaningful training and apprenticeship schemes and supported employment opportunities. CareTrade will also work to make society more aware of the needs of adults with autism.

CareTrade passionately believes that all young people with autism should have the opportunity to be part of their community, to have the support they need to access it and the opportunity to contribute to it. We plan to lead the way forward by creating a series of pilot programmes that can then be replicated elsewhere.
