About Us
Colchester Catalyst Charity, 14 Dedham Vale Business Centre, Manningtree Road, Dedham, Colchester, Essex CO7 6BL Tel 01206 323420 info@colchestercatalyst.co.uk Open Monday to Thursday

Colchester Catalyst Charity has been a grant making charity since 1990, following the sale of the former Colchester Oaks Hospital. At that time, the Charity resolved to devote its income

from the invested funds of that sale to supporting the many caring organisations working for the relief of the sick or suffering in North East Essex. Specifically, Colchester Catalyst Charity seeks to help caring groups that provide services to people with medical conditions or disabilities living in North East Essex. While it is our intention to provide support where it will benefit the greatest number of people, selective help is given to individuals where needed.

We were delighted to help Eliza fund her new Stroller, her Mum said "She was over the moon when I collected her from pre school!!! Made our afternoon so much calmer having her safely in the pushchair!" We think she looks very comfortable in her Buggy.

🌿 Exciting News from iCARP! 🎣

In 2026, in conjunction with the Summit Costal Lives Foundation we will be launching a new programme specially designed for adults with autism. Using therapeutic angling and outdoor activities, participants will have the chance to build confidence, connect with others, and enjoy the calming benefits of nature.

Our sessions are structured, supportive, and repeatable, giving participants the consistency they need to thrive. Families, carers, and support networks will also benefit as participants develop new skills, independence, and wellbeing.

We can’t wait to share updates, participant stories, and ways to get involved as this project grows. Stay tuned! 💚
