Auto22 runs under the auspices of Catch22, a charity based in the United Kingdom that works to support youth so that they can make the most out of their lives. How do they do this?
"For many of our young people, it can be a struggle to find a real job. Paid employment, along with training to enhance future prospects, really helps a young person to become independent," the garage writes on its website. "As a social enterprise, Auto22 will be able to invest all profits in supporting young people in gaining work experience opportunities, work placements, apprenticeships and eventually getting their first job."
The garage itself is based in Gravesend, Kent, England and offers a range of services and repairs for vehicles including small vans, including air conditioning, tires, MOT tests and exhaust replacements.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Social Enterprise Garages
- The emergence of social enterprise garages presents an opportunity for businesses to invest profits in supporting young people in gaining work experience opportunities, work placements, apprenticeships and eventually getting their first job.
- Youth Employment Support
- Providing youth employment support is a trend that can lead to a future where more young people are independent, financially stable and have better life prospects.
- Skills Enhancement Training
- Offering skills enhancement training along with paid employment is a trend that can help young people gain valuable experience, boost their confidence and increase their chances of getting better jobs in the future.
Sectors Adopting This

- The automotive industry can invest in social enterprise garages to support youth employment while also generating profit.
- Charity Industry
- Charities can explore the trend of social enterprise garages to create employment opportunities and support for young people.
- Training and Development Industry
