CatZero, Registered Charity 1138124
CatZero was established as a result of the Clipper Round the World Yacht race in 2007/2008 which saw a tag team of young people working alongside local business people in an event which truely changed their lives.
Inspired by the change they saw, three people (Dave Bertholini, Jim Dick and Danny Watson) came together to create CatZero. Initially working in Hull with young people aged 16-18, CatZero has now developed a range of programmes and are working across the whole Humber region and have changed the lives of hundreds young people.
"CatZero reaches out to young people who have lost their way and, through a combination of challenge and support, motivates and inspires them to get their lives back on track…It's a truly life-changing experience that has propelled many young people into learning and earning. I congratulate all of those who have supported CatZero and helped so many young people to move off the NEETs register. CatZero was a bold and brave answer to a major social problem. It has paid dividends many times over by transforming the lives and life chances of hundreds of young people.” (Alan Johnson Alan Johnson, MP for West Hull and Hessle, speaking at CatZero’s celebration event, 23/02/12)
