The things that normally bring comfort and predictability aren’t always there in the same way at this time of year.

Plans can change. Support may feel less familiar. And for some people, that loss of certainty can slowly build into something harder to manage without help.

What makes the difference is knowing there’s still someone to turn to.

Clear communication. Early check-ins. And support that can step in before situations become overwhelming.

If extra help is needed, our Rapid Response Teams are available 24/7 throughout the holiday period, supporting crisis stabilisation and urgent hospital discharges - with support reaching you within two hours.

Because even during the holidays, no one should feel without support they can rely on.

If you work in care, support someone, or make decisions about services - this will feel familiar.

Too little time. Too little space. Too much pressure.

The same message came through again and again.

We asked care professionals, commissioners and families to share what they’re living with - and they spoke openly about their experiences, in their own words.

Jumper Day may be a light-hearted tradition, but for us it carries something deeper too: care begins with people feeling seen, valued, and connected.

When we share joy together, it strengthens the compassion we bring into our work - especially for those who rely on us for stability and support.

Thank you to everyone who brought warmth and colour into the day. 🎄💛

We often think of the holidays as the most magical time of the year.
But for many autistic people, people with learning disabilities and/or mental health challenges, that same “magic” can feel overwhelming.

Brighter lights. Busy shops. Noise. Last-minute changes.

The things most of us enjoy can trigger distress when someone relies on routine, predictability, and steady support.

And when those anchors shift, small moments can escalate quickly - into crisis, placement breakdown, or an avoidable hospital admission.

That’s why the holidays are a critical period for the people we support.
If something feels unstable or a situation starts to change, don’t wait.

Our specialist teams are available 24/7 for rapid crisis support and safe community-based solutions.

Because the holidays should be a time of connection - not crisis.

Get in touch and we'll respond ASAP - https://catalystgrp.co.uk/referrals-and-assessments/

When we started to support Vladan he was quiet, overwhelmed, and communicating very little.

But even in those early days, you could feel the spark - the part of him that wanted to connect, learn, and be understood.

With gentle structure, specialist support, and a team who took the time to notice what made him feel safe and valued, Vladan began to show more of who he truly is.

And the progress has been incredible:
✨ Communication blossoming - from nonspeaking to making requests and using PECS
✨ Calmer regulation and predictable routines
✨ Learning new skills like recognising colours, animals, and body parts
✨ Preparing simple meals with support
✨ Building friendships and joining in with his local community
✨ Writing his own name - a moment that meant so much to everyone around him

In just 18 months, his world has gone from limited and overwhelming to open, engaging, and full of small wins that mean everything.

This is why outcomes matter - because every milestone is a sign that a child feels safer, more confident, and more themselves.
👉 Take a look at Vladan's journey and celebrate his progress with us. https://catalystgrp.co.uk/case-study/vladans-care-journey-life-changing-outcomes-based-on-person-centric-practices/

There are two very different realities in care.
In one, restrictive practices shrink a person’s world - routines break, trust fades, and even the smallest moments feel out of reach.

In the other, restriction is replaced with understanding.
Prevention replaces escalation.
And support becomes something that opens a person’s life instead of containing it.

That’s the difference a consistent, PROACT-SCIPr-UK® approach makes -
moving someone from a life of limits to a life with possibilities.

And we saw that difference in the clearest way: after almost 30 years away from community life, the person we supported finally began stepping outside again - not through force or pressure, but through safety, predictability, and support that honoured her autonomy.

A 70% reduction in incidents made space for something greater: a life regained.

When restrictive practices reduce safely and consistently, something shifts at the core: routines rebuild, relationships strengthen, and everyday life becomes reachable again.

Because with the right framework and the right people beside you,
choice returns, confidence grows, and freedom becomes possible again.

This Christmas, our Catalyst Community is joining together to support 79 young girls across Zambia and Zimbabwe through the Catalyst Foundation.

At CCG, we believe our impact should extend beyond our offices. The hashtag campaign reflects exactly that: turning compassion into real change for children who need it most.

In our Bristol office, a Christmas tree stands, beautifully decorated with 79 stars, each representing a girl whose life can be transformed by a single act of kindness.

Behind every star is a story:
✨ a dream to become a nurse, teacher, or agriculture officer
✨ a family doing their best through the rainy season
✨ a child who simply wishes for a full plate on Christmas Day

With a £20 donation, you can provide a Christmas hamper filled with essentials, food, and a moment of joy during the rainy season, a reminder that they are seen and supported by a community that cares.

To help us light up all 79 stars this Christmas:
📍 Visit the Bristol office or our social media channels
📱 Scan the QR code
🎁 Donate £20

A small act from us.
A brighter Christmas for them.
A shared impact we can all be proud of.
Together, we light up lives.

Sometimes progress is quiet - it looks like someone hanging clothes out to dry.

For Jack, one of the people supported by , this moment reflects growth, confidence, and pride in taking care of his own space. With the guidance of one of his support worker, Steve, he’s learning practical skills that strengthen his independence and help him take part in everyday life.

Not long ago, Jack’s world was filled with uncertainty. He moved between temporary homes every 28 days, never sure where he’d be next. Today, he’s settled in his forever home - a place built around his needs, where he feels safe, confident, and understood.

The trust and understanding between Jack and his support workers remain central to his progress. Through their connection, Jack continues to develop new skills, rediscover confidence, and experience what true stability and inclusion can bring.

Restrictive practices - restraint, seclusion, and forced medication - are still used in UK care settings when support doesn’t meet individual needs. The consequences are serious: trauma, lost trust, and further isolation for people who already face barriers.

PROACT-SCIPr-UK® takes a proactive, person-centred approach, addressing needs before crises arise. By focusing on understanding, early intervention, and individual strengths, it reduces the need for restrictive practices while supporting dignity, confidence, and autonomy.

Understand the need before it turns into crisis, and there will be no crisis.

That’s the heart of ProACT-SCIPr-UK — acting before behaviour escalates, recognising what a person is communicating, and responding with compassion, not control.

With an impressive reduction in restrictive interventions by 75% in just one year, this approach proves that when we listen, adapt, and involve the person in every decision, we don’t just reduce restriction — we build trust, confidence, and safety.

This is not reactive care.

This is proactive support and positive risk-taking — the kind that brings people joy, progress, and a true sense of purpose.

'He phones me every night now. Just to say goodnight.' – Christine, Elliot’s mother

For 4.5 years, Elliot lived in a hospital where rules and restrictions shaped every part of his day. He couldn’t use public transport, visit his family easily, or follow his own routine.

With careful planning, co-production, and by placing Elliot at the centre of every decision, his life began to transform. Together with his family, therapists, and support team, we:

➕ Gave him control over his days – exploring buildings he loves, listening to music, and creating art again.
➕ Reduced restrictive practices and medication.
➕ Built strong, open communication between Elliot, his family, and his team.

The difference? Trust, presence, and genuine choice. When support walks with someone, not over them, lives flourish.

If you’re supporting someone like Elliot, let’s work together to help them live the life they deserve. - https://catalystgrp.co.uk/referrals-and-assessments/
