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.

With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.
