As Joyce pointed out ; in their evaluated projects( which work to support young people in their families and communities and prevent admission to care) they save the State £10 for every £1 they spend.
The Princess Royal is Patron of Catch 22 and we all know in the sector she takes her role as a charity champion very seriously.
As well as launching the new campaign and urging support for the fundraising campaign she spoke about the funding challenges of the sector and how important it is for sector organisations to work together and for us to remain on mission and prepared to do what they think they need to not what a funder says they should to get money.
Had an amusing chat afterwards and discovered she reads " Third Sector" and so I suggested she occasionally reads my wise words. She grinned!
We heard from a number of the beneficiaries of the work of this great charity. One point struck home. A mother said that when they first had a visit from the Catch 22 staff member , unlike the usual social service worker , they arrived minus briefcase, pen or paper. They just chatted. This is exactly the sort of flexible non bureaucratic way our sector operates. Long may it continue.
And good luck Catch 22 under its new CEO and congratulations to Joyce on a stunning career which has pushed the boundaries and advanced our sector.

I’m Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {urgentloan22@gmail.com}
