"Next Steps through The Matthew Project has provided several Hebron Graduates with support, training and structure to enable them to continue with their recovery journey after graduating from Hebron. It has proven to be very popular with the residents of our Move On house, who have often been heard to say how much they look forward to attending. This was particularly noticeable during the third lockdown when this became a lifeline during a very isolating time. I cannot thank them enough for helping our graduates with their journey over the bridge to normal living.  

For one graduate in particular, who has ongoing mental health issues, the contact with TMP and her involvement in undertaking practical activities in the workshop has been vital for her ongoing recovery. This lady tends to isolate in her flat, but will always make the effort to attend TMP as it lifts her mood and she feels accepted and comfortable there. In addition to the support she received from Hebron during the lockdown periods, she would receive regular phone contact from staff at TMP which helped her to remain connected and helped her to not feel so alone."
