Positive Partnerships are vital in order to achieve realistic pathways to Employment for people with Autism and Learning Disabilities.

AutismAble currently receives Education and Skills Agency funding via South Tyneside Council and Sunderland Council to deliver employability and vocational training to residents in the North East.

We have established some excellent partnership links with local organisations who provide fantastic support via work placements or guest workshop delivery to our employability programmes.

Organisations that currently support the EmployABLE programme include:

• The Customs House

• UNISON

• South Shields Football Club

• Westoe Letting Agency

• Highfield Newsagent

• Apnar Ghar Womens Centre
