Benugo and The Clink Charity Announce Five-Year Strategic Partnership to Support Sustainable Employment Pathways

Benugo has announced a five-year partnership with The Clink Charity, creating a structured employment pathway for prison leavers into long-term hospitality careers. Benugo’s approach is underpinned by its strong people-first ethos and a long-standing commitment to creating meaningful career opportunities for a wide range of communities. Central to this is a focus on internal development, with over 80% of roles filled through internal progression across the business. The company has also worked closely with a range of charities and partners over many years to support access to employment, skills development and social mobility.
