I spent some of my childhood as an unpaid apprentice in my fathers Painting andamp; Decorating business in Old Trafford, Manchester. So I was intrigued to learn about the work of BOUNCE BACK, particularly as I live close to Brixton Prison where this Social Enterprise charity operates a successful training scheme for prisoners plus employment opportunities and mentoring when their trainees are released.

This support has also dramatically reduced re-offending rates and makes our communities safer too! The feed-back from clients and companies offering painting andamp; decorating projects has been very positive, especially about the standard of work and support from the BOUNCE BACK team.
