Many young people in the UK find themselves in seemingly impossible 'catch 22' situations. We believe that every young person deserves the chance to get on in life no matter what.

With over 120 projects working with young people in communities around the UK, we are one of the largest youth charities in the country. We work with over 34,000 10-25 year olds, and our hope for every one of them is that they are given the chance at life that we believe every young person deserves.

We work to give all young people the chance to learn, to earn a living and find somewhere safe and stable to live, to stay away from crime and make a contribution to their community. At Catch22 we know there are young people in all sorts of difficult situations and we stick with them no matter what has happened to them or what mistakes they have made. We want to help them find ways out of their tough situations, whatever they may be.
