In 2025 Catalyst will be proudly marking 10 years since its inception. The organisation was first conceived in 2015 by founders Tippa Naphtali and Sandra Griffiths.
We are very pleased to announce that The National Lottery Fund has awarded £19,984 in grant funding to the NMPMFF to further their development plans.
We are very pleased to announce that the MASH Meet & Eat sessions are back. The sessions were popular until they were discontinued in 2019 due to a lack of funding.
