Roz, Mel, Sarah, Alice and I met at The Matthew Tree Project's new location along with a group of their staff and volunteers. The lorry with their donated furniture was early so we quickly split into an upstairs and a downstairs team to load the furniture into and out of the lifts to prepare their new office.

30 minutes of lifting and shifting later we were all sweatier and the van was empty. Ready for rounds 2 and 3 tomorrow!


This task supported
The Matthew Tree Project
We strive to empower and support people who have fallen into crisis, for whatever reason, to rebuild their lives and create a better, healthier, happier future.

'Rebuilding Lives' is the pioneering and holistic working model created by The Matthew Tree Project (TMTP) which provides a complete 'wrap-around' range of support and guidance services for those living on the very edge of society, hit by crisis and at risk of homelessness.The simple and compassionate act of giving people food on a weekly basis has created a safe and positive environment to build relationship and gain an understanding of each person’s circumstances. This allows us to engage on a much deeper level - to get to the heart of the problem, and then support people to move from crisis to independence in the best possible way.
