 New stretch target

Thank you so much - thanks to you we have hit our target of £6000!

We are now aiming to raise £12000 in order to provide lots of bursaries and to develop the CATALYST BOOTCAMP into a school and mentoring programme - to support more young women to be inspired, empowered and skilled for sustainable futures.

We will use the funds to :

  • Provide lots of free places on the Catalyst Bootcamp for young women from disadvantaged backgrounds;
  • Design and print copies of the Catalyst Handbook for Bristol region secondary schools;
  • Set up a  Catalyst Network mentoring programme for teenage girls -  to follow-on from the Bootcamp;
  • Print and distribute marketing materials to schools and youth networks around Bristol.

Thank you so much for your support. 


Catalyst Bootcamp 

Please can you help us to run our 1st -ever Catalyst Bootcamp?  - Donate any sum you wish  from the first button on right, or scroll down the list and choose from one of our amazing rewards! THANK YOU - every penny really helps and we really do appreciate your support. 

What is it?  An inspiring, empowering 3-day residential programme in Bristol for teenage girls - aged 14 - 19 years - helping them to be confident, skilled and resilient for a changing world.  It is for young women who want to make a positive difference in the world, but aren't quite sure how to go about it.

Whats it all about?

The Catalyst Bootcamp is all about young women coming together to have a conversation, to learn new skills, meet inspirational change-makers, to help them find their voice - to help them be 'the change they wish to see in the world.'

  • Teenage girls face a multitude of challenges from cyber-bullying, anxiety and other mental health issues - we provide practical skills to help increase self-confidence and to help them deal effectively with anxiety and stress.
  • The world is facing some pretty serious social and environmental problems - the Bootcamp helps young women to be confident, skilled & resilient for a rapidly changing world.
  • For a fast-changing job market we also teach the 'softer' skills for employability including; team working, problem solving and clearer communication.

Who is it for?

It is for teenage girls - aged 14 - 19 years - who want to make a positive difference in the world but aren't quite yet sure how to go about it.
