WHAT SOME MEMBERS THINK!

“MASH (originally part of National Mind) would have had a bleak future if not for the intervention of CATALYST to provide incubation, business planning and fundraising support. We look forward to the future with more confidence”

“We thank Catalyst 4 Change for providing an excellent support and incubation structure for the Fund and being the accountable body until we're at the stage where we can become a UK charitable organisation in our own right”

Jaki Miller / NMPMFF

“Red Alert looks forward to developing its 24-hour support line for families concerned about detained loved ones. We are grateful that CATALYST will help us to reach phase 2 of our 5-year development plan”
