Welcome to the dedicated hub for the Catalyst transition. We’re becoming an independent organisation from 1st April 2024, following a successful five-year incubation period with CAST.
The purpose of this page is to provide information about our new organisation, vision and mission, and the next phase for Catalyst. This will be complemented by a series of blogs (links will be added soon under the relevant questions).
As always, if you have any comments, reflections or concerns, please email us.
To submit a question to this page, please use this form.
We’ll continue to update this page as and when new questions are posed.
General questions:
- How has this transition of Catalyst out of CAST come about?
- What is Catalyst’s refreshed vision and mission?
- Why has Catalyst decided that the time is right now to make this move? And why become a Community Interest Company (CIC?)
- Which initiatives now ‘belong’ to which organisation? Are there any shared initiatives - and if so, how will this work?
- How were decisions made on which initiatives would and would not be taken forward by Catalyst?
- What is Catalyst’s legal status as an entity now?
- How will CAST and Catalyst’s relationship work going forward?
- How will the separation of any shared funding (if relevant) be approached?
