Thanks to your donations the Eventus Recruitment Group’s Managing Director Siobhan Courtney was freed from Lancaster prison on Wednesday 30th October 2024 at 3pm.
Siobhan’s arrest
At 10 am on the 30th October 2024, Siobhan was “arrested” by Lancaster Police having been reported by her colleagues for her excessive chatter and was escorted to Lancaster Castle with 31 other workplace criminals and locked up in HMP Lancaster Castle. For her successful bail, we had to raise £999 for St John’s Hospice by the end of the day.
Siobhan’s release
It was touch and go as to whether she would be released due to Siobhan being late back to the line-up after visiting time and being caught wearing extra layers of clothing in which she may or may not have used to smuggle contraband into the prison. However, thanks to the donations of our wonderful clients, family, friends, colleagues and local law firms the bail money was raised for Siobhan’s release. In total your donations exceeded the bail amount and raised a whooping £1,133 for St John’s Hospice. A charity that is vital within our community and is close to the hearts of everyone in Lancaster and the surrounding areas.
After formerly working as a Prison Officer, Siobhan enjoyed her return to Prison – perhaps a little too much, as when on her release the Prison Officer told her to “behave herself”, she responded “NO”.
Thank you for your donations to St John’s Hospice
We would like to express a huge thank you to everyone who donated and to St John’s Hospice for arranging such a fantastic fundraising event. Although the Eventus team were grateful for day of peace and quiet in the office, they are thankful to have Siobhan back with them and with new prison stories to tell.
Before her release, Siobhan recorded a video of thanks from her cell and explains how valuable your donations are. Watch the video below.
