Catch22

Social Impact Review 2024

Catch22 is a social business delivering services across criminal justice, education, employability, youth violence and family support in England. In 2024 it supported over 45,000 victims, 11,729 prison leavers and 12,544 people through community services, while achieving an Ofsted 'good' rating across all its schools. The year was marked by the merger with Redthread, adding hospital-based youth violence intervention to its county lines and exploitation services. Catch22's Public Service Reform agenda drives policy influence alongside frontline delivery, including contributions to debates on the Victims and Prisoners Bill and youth vaping legislation.
