This is a collaborative project working closely with local colleges and organisations to provide opportunities for young people, including work placements, life skills, coaching and mentorship, supported by strong supervision and suitably qualified, competent and vetted tradespeople.

The founders approached the Gaunless Gateway Partnership with a spark of a good idea, but with limited knowledge and skills to bring it to life. The Partnership provided them with a small grant to fund backfill to allow them to establish the necessary policies and procedures, which placed them in a strong position to search for additional funding.
Since that time Trades 4 Care has gone from strength to strength, and this interview broadcast by our local community radio station explains more about their work and how they managed to both survive and thrive during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The team behind Trades 4 Care are confident they have a great idea, and a strong business model, and are looking to expand their work at a national level.
