Mustard Tree’s Round-Up 24.06.22
We’ve also surpassed our hundredth donation through our abseil JustGiving page – thanks so much to everyone who contributed!
GMCVO Communities in Control
As part of the Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO) Communities in Control week, we are offering a tour of our Ancoats hub to showcase our refurbished Community Shop, Food Club and other areas of the charity.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who supports or partners with Mustard Tree, but has yet to come and see us in person since the Covid-19 pandemic. You may be looking to find out more about what we do, having contributed to a friend or family member’s fundraiser.
Arrival time for the tour is 1pm with a 3pm latest finish. For more information and to register, please click the above button, or email information@mustardtree.org.uk / call 0161 228 7331 with any queries.
Refugee Week 2022
What better time to celebrate our Diversity value than Refugee Week – which is running between the 20th – 26th June. Standing up for this cause is more important than ever, and we wanted to share one particular story from Ahmed, which encapsulates our welcome approach.
I gained communications skills, specifically with British people. I worked in retail and learned timekeeping skills and how to act in a formal environment – Ahmed.
To protect identity, we’ve changed Ahmed’s name and used a stock photo.
We Do Code X Mustard Tree
Over the past several weeks, we’ve been collaborating with software developers We Do Code to deliver structured digital skills training to our Freedom trainees and clients – here’s a little more about how the project worked:
Our new rolling course started this week – if you know anyone who may benefit from these sessions, please drop us an email to information@mustardtree.org.uk and we’ll see how we can help.
