Anthony’s Story
Anthony came to Mustard Tree after facing many obstacles in his life, including ill-health, bereavement, and homelessness. His experiences had left him lacking in confidence. Anthony joined The Freedom Project, with two goals; to help other people and to get back to his old self…
“It really opened my eyes – I thought that’s 100% for me”.
Anthony began training on the retail work stream in December 2021. “When I came here, I felt so warm and welcome – I knew I was in a safe environment, and around nice people. I jumped at it straight away because that’s what I wanted to be around. I didn’t want to be around negative people because I’d been there”.
With the support of the Mustard Tree Team, Anthony was able to build on the confidence he’d gained through the Lab Project. “I did have some confidence, but it grew even more so, at Mustard Tree”.
During his Freedom Placement, Anthony and his wife reconnected and got back together, and after 6 months on The Freedom Project, he was offered a paid placement with FareShare.
