Bounce Back is continually exploring new ways to reach and support the hundreds of individuals who contact us upon their release. There is so much more we can achieve outside the prison environment, and our presence in the community is growing steadily.
Our head office and community training hub are located at 25b Wincott Street, Kennington, London, where we offer training in painting and decorating, as well as tailored support in employability skills, CV writing, and general employment guidance.
Our work with local residents, particularly those who are most marginalised, has been made possible through our collaboration with London Boroughs and their local employment engagement teams. Our community training centre plays a vital role in fostering engagement and service delivery, working in partnership with other training providers, Jobcentre Plus, youth services, and more.
In addition to supporting ex-offenders, we have delivered courses in furniture upcycling and construction upskilling, collaborating with organisations such as Crisis and other homeless charities. Over the past year, we have partnered with Hopkinson House and St Martin’s in the Fields to run simple skills training programmes aimed at helping small groups of learners improve their prospects while staying in hostels.
We are also deeply involved in our local community, working alongside other social enterprises, local councils, and businesses to amplify our impact.
