FAQs

What is a community interest company?

A CIC is a new type of company, designed for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for the public good.  A CIC company must pass a community interest test to ensure they are working for the benefit of the community. We are a company limited by guarantee, which means we are a not for profit business.

 

What does Bounce do to ensure it meets the community interest test?

Our business is both as ethically and environmentally sound as we can make it. We purchase from ethical suppliers, reuse/recycle materials, use public transport where ever possible and engage with fundraising projects for local charities where possible. We nurture the relationships we have with our employees, associates, creative partners and participants in order to ensure everyone benefits from the service Bounce offers.

Artistically we have developed a range of partnerships with charitable organisations, developing new projects to support their work. These include: Creative Corners, Shooting Star and the Phuket has been good to us foundation.

I really enjoyed Bounce's production of Tender: the characters were all so real and the series of tangled encounters built up the tension so much for me I cried at the end.
