We’re excited to announce that our brilliant corporate partner, CBRE, is casting its line once again in support of Bromley Mencap – this time with a fun, international fishing fundraiser taking place throughout September and October!
Across the UK, Northern Ireland, and Europe, CBRE staff and supporters are invited to take part by sharing photos of their fishing catches. For just a £5 donation, participants can submit their best fishing photo – and compete for prizes in the categories of Biggest Fish and Best Photo. Up for grabs are two £50 Amazon vouchers!
This unique challenge is a great example of how businesses can back inclusion and opportunity in their communities, while having a little fun along the way.
Why Your Support Matters
At Bromley Mencap, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why we work hard to support disabled people into meaningful employment – helping them build skills, confidence, and independence.
With the incredible support of CBRE, we’ve turned that belief into reality for people like Lucas.
After losing his job during the pandemic, Lucas felt lost and uncertain about the future. But with support from Bromley Mencap and CBRE, he was offered an interview with Restaurant Associates – and he shone.
Today, Lucas works full-time in hospitality, bringing energy, positivity, and a warm smile to everyone he meets. His journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people are given the right support and a real opportunity.
CBRE’s partnership has opened doors for so many of our members – and now, we need your help to continue this life-changing work.
“At CBRE, we’re passionate about making a positive impact in our communities.
Through our partnership with Bromley Mencap, I’ve seen firsthand the barriers people face when trying to enter the workforce – from navigating the application process to building confidence.
Supporting events like this one is a fun, inclusive way to connect – and to make a real difference. Let’s make this year even bigger!”
– Pat Heavey, UK & Ireland Operations Director, CBRE Global Corporate Services (and Bromley Mencap Trustee)
