Formed in 2008 from a merger between the Rainer Foundation and Crime Concern, the earliest roots of Catch22 go back to 1788 and the formation of the Philanthropic Society (later Crime Concern), which was created to help young people who were caught up in crime to develop ‘virtuous dispositions and industrious habits’, and ultimately to ‘find them the means of an honest employment and livelihood’. The Philanthropic Society saw their ultimate goal as improving society at large. They aimed to ‘unite the spirit of charity with the principles of trade’ by focusing on the social returns gained from improving the ‘morals and ethics’ of young offenders. Catch22 is a social business, a not-for-profit business with a social mission, which designs and delivers services that build resilience and aspiration in people and communities. Its vision is a strong society where everyone has good people around them, a purpose and a good place to live. Last year, our 1,700 staff supported over 110,000 people to lead better lives. Catch22 doesn’t stop at changing lives on the frontline. It takes any surplus and the learning from delivery, and funnels that into public service reform – investing in new structures and programmes that do things differently and change the system for good.
