Purpose. Competitors

Ashoka is the world's largest network of social entrepreneurs and a global leader in social innovation. We champion social entrepreneurs who are shifting systems and creating new frameworks for society.

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.

We help our partners design, fund and scale solutions to complex and enduring social issues. Our pioneering work delivers lasting and widespread change that improves the lives of people and communities in the UK and globally. We’ve been doing this since we created the world’s first social impact bond in 2010 – a totally new approach to funding and delivery, in which investors are repaid only if and when services improve outcomes for people. Today, this is just one aspect of what we do. We have a team of over 120 people, diverse in skills and experiences, united in our passion for making the world a fairer place.
