Catch22 - Helping young people out |
| Catch22 is a national charity that works with young people who find themselves in difficult situations. Whatever the reason for their situation, we help them out. We work with their families and their communities wherever and whenever young people need us most; in schools, on the streets, in the home, at community centres, shopping centres, in police stations, and in custody. As young people become more positive, productive and independent, the whole community benefits. Before we became Catch22, we were Rainer and Crime Concern, two national charities that came together in 2008. |
