Seven pairs if hands made light work of a list of tasks at the allotments, including watering the orchard and veg, weeding, comfrey cutting and tying up vines in the polytunnel. Well done to Leah and Jade for whom it was their second good deed of the evening, having cycled straight from a task in Eastville.
'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.
