Report written by Shona Buchanan
Martha, Roz, Jenny and I met Amy from TMTP in the sunny car park outside their warehouse. After an exceptionally busy few months helping people in need all over the city during lockdown, the crates which hold the food were in need of a good clean. We got to work with soaping and scrubbing them then rinsing them down. Just over an hour later we had cleaned the lot and had a good old chat while we were at it.
'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.
