We’re driven by love to take action for children.
Our vision is that every child and young person has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.
Catch22 is a social business, a not for profit business with a social mission. For over 200 years we have designed and delivered services that build resilience and aspiration in people and communities.
Catch22 is at the forefront of public service delivery. Our staff work in prisons, alternative provision schools, colleges, and in a range of community settings – improving the lives of over 160,000 people each year.
For more than 50 years, we’ve worked to champion the rights of children and young people across the UK. Today, that challenge is greater than ever.
In an age of austerity, we’ve witnessed funding for children’s services cut by half; with a devastating impact on young lives. In an era of disinformation, trust has never had more value.
That’s why we interrogate policy and uncover evidence to shape future legislation. We take the voices of children to the heart of Government, bringing people and organisations together to drive change in society and deliver a better childhood across the UK.
Our impact goes far beyond childhood, to deliver lasting
change for future generations. Changing policy and shaping
history.
We’re united for a better start. United for a better future. United for a better childhood.
We’re the National Children’s Bureau. #UnitedForABetterChildhood
