ASTRiiD

ASTRiiD's mission is to help people with long term, chronic illness find meaningful work. We believe that value of work is far more than the wages that are paid. Work provides normality, routine, challenges and rewards and help gives our members a positive mental attitude. ASTRiiD helps bridge the gap between the Invisible Talent Pool (i.e.. the cadre of people who have long term chronic illness but who still wish to use their skills and experience in work) and the UK skills crisis.
