Who are the Catalyst collaborators?
They are a mix of:

We are united by an ambition to strengthen the digital capabilities of the voluntary sector in the UK. We are always keen to talk to new collaborators.

Contributions are varied but include: collecting data on the needs of civil society; contributing resources (time, expertise or funding), and creating or building on solutions that respond to the needs of the sector.
