Christmas Giving at Catch

At Catch, we like to make sure we give something back at this time of year. To help us do so as a team, we scrapped the traditional - and slightly cringeworthy - office Secret Santa in 2019.

Instead, we take part in two charity initiatives - Christmas Jumper Day and Kids Out’s Giving Tree scheme.

Christmas Jumper Day is Save the Children's annual event which raises money for children in the UK and across the world. Every December, we all dust off our most festive jumpers (apart from Gary, our Tech Director, who happily wears his all month) and make donations to Save the Children. We’re happy to say we hit our target very quickly this year.

Designed to be a fun alternative to the traditional Secret Santa, Giving Tree is not only simple to get involved with but a fun exercise for the whole office! Rather than buy each other cheap - and occasionally tacky! - Secret Santa gifts, instead we each buy something from the Giving Tree shop. The gifts are then given directly to children in refuge homes and other children across the country who are in great need, helping make Christmas the special time of year it should be.

If you’d like to take part in the Giving Tree scheme, you can do so here.

Acquia partnership

Acquia.com is the destination for customers looking for digital experience expertise, and Catch being an official Acquia Partner puts us with some of the most capable and talented digital leaders to be found anywhere in the world, as Acquia themselves write on their partnership website.

With our core focus on the end to end customer experience, Drupal is a key platform that enables us to power engaging and personalised customer experiences, and we've worked with Acquia on a wide range of Drupal related projects, including, SES, Institute of Physics, Watford FC, University of Salford, and BBC GoodFood.

"Acquia initially offered managed cloud hosting and fine-tuned services for Drupal, and has now grown to provide a fully loaded digital experience platform with Drupal at its core"

We're all about community empowerment for Developers, and are active in the open-source community ourselves. Engaged and knowledgable developers better the Drupal community, and this enables support for all the organisations that leverage Drupal to power their digital customer experiences.

At the heart of the Drupal community is Acquia, the leading cloud platform SaaS company. Having Dries Buytaert, the co-founder of Acquia and the creator of Drupal, develop this program provides an enormous amount of credibility within the community.
