Bounce Back is a social enterprise that has an airy, fun and positive outlook, which is, for some, surprising because it's also a serious initiative that trains and employs ex-offenders. Its services include painting, wallpapering, graffiti work and decorating in both individual and commercial jobs throughout London, United Kingdom.
Bounce Back is a unique program that attempts to bridge the gap between prison and readjustment so that ex-prisoners can have a chance at sustainable employment opportunities through this skills-focused model.
