Bridge Recruitment is proud to announce our partnership with Bounce Back UK, who will be the official charity supported by the FM Comedy Night, 2020.

Bounce Back is an organisation and social enterprise dedicated to helping ex-offenders get back on track in and out of prison from custody to employment. Since it formed eight years ago, the charity has set up training centres in six prisons, as well as two outside. The charity delivers programmes focusing on painting and decorating, dry lining, scaffolding and aerial window cleaning.

The charity believes that everyone has the ability to change and deserves the chance to do so. Their re-offending rate is just below 10% compared to the national average’s 50%, and that’s thanks to their strong focus on employment and the support they give to those trying to get back on their feet.

After last year’s success, it brings us great joy to announce the return of the FM Comedy Night, which will be taking place on the 6th April 2020, at the Comedy Store. The FM Comedy Night is a unique opportunity for facilities management professionals to network in a relaxed, informal environment, followed by live comedy from some of the very best comedians in the UK. Early bird tickets are now on sale here and every purchase will go directly to supporting Bounce Back UK.

Francesca Findlater, CEO of Bounce Back said the following:

“We thrive on our partnerships with industry, and as employment is a key focus, it is a real privilege to be supported by Bridge Recruitment. We are proud and excited to be developing this relationship and look forward to the opportunities it presents. The fact that this also includes a fun comedy night makes it a compelling combination.”

Please note, the comedians and agenda are still being finalised and further details will be announced.
