About

Colchester Catalyst Charity aims to help relieve the sick and suffering by making a positive and ongoing contribution to the improvement of health care within the community of north-east Essex, specifically where help is not available from statutory organisations.

The over-riding concern of the Charity is to provide support where it will benefit the greatest number of people, principally by direct contributions to organisations for specific and well defined projects including therapeutic aids, equipment and buildings for medical or nursing care.

While it remains the intention of the Charity to provide support where it will benefit the greatest number of people, the need is often felt to give selective help to individuals. This help is usually given in the form of specialised equipment which is not provided by statutory organisations, either for reasons of policy or lack of resources. Anyone with some form of special individual need could be considered for assistance in purchasing equipment which would alleviate their medical condition. Requests for assistance should be properly supported by a medical practitioner.
