Paul and I met the Matthew Tree Project team for part 3 of their office move with lorry unloading of donated furniture.

Although we were both in disguise coming from work, we had still managed to get a name for ourselves as GoodGym and therefore had to prove their presumption that we were 'fit' by assisting with a speedy lorry unload and lift filling session. As one of the lifts wasn't working, the group then started taking objects up the stairs (which was apparently 3rd floor but definitely 6 flights of stairs away!).

After half an hour we headed back to work and wished Matthew Tree Project well in their new offices.


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.
