About

Catalyst is a not for profit organisation, providing a range of services and support for people in Surrey. Catalyst has really grown and expanded over the last few years and we are proud to say we now help deliver 16 amazing community projects across Surrey.

Our work is across three main areas: Mental Health and Wellbeing, Drug & Alcohol and Specialist Outreach. We offer non-medical interventions in a friendly, accessible, professional and non-judgmental way. We believe people are their own best resource and we work to enable these skills to be activated and learn new ones.

With partnership working and offering flexible services, we believe we can reduce the isolation and stigma faced by people experiencing challenges through a number of projects. To help you understand the range of services we offer, we have produced this useful visual infographic. To download a PDF of this infographic click here.
