Our vision

Our vision is a strong society where everyone has a good place to live, a purpose and good people around them.

We believe that access to these three basic things (which we call our 3Ps) is fundamental to transforming lives and communities. All Catch22 services deliver at least one – and often all three-  of these outcomes.

Our vision explained

What does it mean to have 'good people'?

This is about putting the human connections and relationships back into public services. Our experience teaches us time and time again that what makes a difference in people’s lives are strong and meaningful relationships with good people who care. Whatever their needs, we surround our service users with a positive network of good people.

What does it mean to have a 'good place to live'?

If a person has a good place to live, a community where they feel safe and at home, they can properly focus on making changes in the rest of their lives. This is also about encouraging and enabling communities to be more active and engaged, a vital first step in creating a thriving and prosperous society.

What does it mean to have a 'purpose'?

Having something meaningful to do is essential for people trying to build better lives for themselves and their families. That could be a job, an apprenticeship, education, training or even a social action project that contributes positively to their communities. The sense of achievement and value that comes with purposeful activity helps people understand their own potential and opens the door to real opportunity.
