  Company Description

  Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.

  We achieve this in two ways. Firstly, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

  National Citizen Service

  More than 700,000 young people have taken part in the National Citizens Service over the last decade, completing over 15 million hours of community based social action, and gaining priceless life experiences. NCS offers a range of experiences for young people that support them to become world ready and work-ready, through growing their confidence, independence, and skills; connecting them with people from all walks of life; and empowering them to make a difference in their communities and wider society. We want to create a country of connected, confident and caring citizens, where everyone feels at home.
