Eight years ago, a dream became reality as we opened the doors to a building that was once just a distant hope. What had been a space forgotten and tarnished by anti-social behaviour has grown into something much more—a sanctuary of hope, compassion, and opportunity. Today, as we celebrate CATCH’s 8th anniversary, we honour not just the milestone, but the extraordinary people who poured their hearts into making this vision a reality.

From the outset, it was the dedication of volunteers, especially our young people, that transformed this site into the beating heart of our community. What began as a neglected patch of land is now alive with laughter, learning, and growth. Some might call CATCH an oasis, but its true power lies in the hands of those who believed in its potential. Seeds of hope were sown here, nurtured through countless hours of love and commitment, they blossomed into something beyond what any of us could have imagined.

We’ve faced our share of trials, national lockdowns, moments of loss, uncertainty, and doubt. Yet, time and again, people showed up. They turned challenges into opportunities, giving not only their time and energy but their very souls. Through long nights, cold days, and unexpected setbacks, we stood together, committed to turning a forgotten space into a thriving community hub. Every hour given, every idea shared, every kindness shown has contributed to this place becoming a home for so many, including the animals we’ve welcomed. Their presence creates a fusion of nature and city life, teaching young people invaluable lessons about care, empathy, and responsibility.

Whether it was constructing walls, planning programmes, or simply being there when it mattered most, every single act has shaped CATCH into what it is today. And while we can’t name each person, know this: your contributions, big and small, have left a lasting mark. You are the reason this space thrives, the reason it continues to grow, and the reason it feels like home.

To every volunteer, every supporter, and every friend – thank you. Your unwavering belief in what we can achieve as a community is the foundation upon which we’ve built this incredible journey. Together, we’ve proven what can happen when love, kindness, and compassion are our guiding lights.

As we look to the future, we do so with hearts full of gratitude and excitement for the lives we’ll continue to touch. Here’s to the next chapter, and to the countless seeds of hope we have yet to plant together. 🌱❤️

Margaret Mead once said:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

I’ve been lucky enough to play professional rugby in various programs since I was 18 years old such as Great Britain 7s, England 7s and in the 15s premiership.

After being diagnosed with a brain illness in June 2022 it has put my life into a whole new perspective.
