Have been doing fortnightly collections on my street for Mustard Tree during pandemic and the staff at Mustard Tree have been supportive and grateful they are offering a life saving service to the community members needing a hand at that time in these hard times.
I see the community being treated with care and dignity and the food parcels being distributed to those not able to collect themselves please do not forget to support Mustard Tree when this present crisis is over people will still be in need

This is the place to come if you need a food parcel or you have been homeless or at risk of being homeless. they can help you if your on the street, if youve got a new place they can supply you with discounted furniture and they even do meals for those rough sleepers. I havent personally accessed these services but I went there with someone I was helping who was usung them and I have to say these guys should be applauded for what they do

Having taken furniture from a bereavement before to this place we didn't hesitate to take the rest of it.
Big mistake they said they were too busy to even look at it,Tables,drawers,cabinets all went to the tip.
Will never go there again and would not recommend anyone else too.

Went in here few days ago and it has gone right down hill. The furniture is really old and sparce. Too many staff, not enough customers. Used to love going in here but within the last year it's gone down.

It's important we felt that the Customer Service desk is perhaps nearer the front than being at the very back of the store.

Also the attitude of the guy serving as the: Reception staff, could be more pleasant and polite...coming across as somewhat smarmy and cocky really didn't make the experience appealing when we dropped off some food for them a few weeks back, with it being our first ever visit there.

Although the other staff members were polite that we briefly passed by.

An often overlooked charity that works very hard to cater to everybody. Mustard Tree is one of the cheapest places in Manchester to buy second-hand furniture from, and their paperback books are just 20p. Don't be too harsh on their van drivers, they only have 3 vans to cover the whole of Manchester!

About Mustard Tree

Mustard Tree: Combating Poverty and Preventing Homelessness

Mustard Tree is a UK-based charity organization that has been working tirelessly to combat poverty and prevent homelessness since 1994. The organization was founded by a group of volunteers who were concerned about the increasing number of people living in poverty and facing homelessness in Manchester.

Over the years, Mustard Tree has grown to become one of the leading charities in the UK, providing support to thousands of people every year. The organization's mission is to create opportunities for people who are trapped in poverty or at risk of becoming homeless, empowering them to transform their lives.

One of the key ways that Mustard Tree achieves its mission is through its food clubs. These clubs provide affordable food for those who are struggling financially, helping them stretch their budgets further. In addition, Mustard Tree also provides emergency food parcels for those who are facing crisis situations such as job loss or illness.

Another important aspect of Mustard Tree's work is its employment program. The organization provides training and support for individuals who are looking to improve their employability skills or find work. This includes CV writing workshops, interview preparation sessions, and access to job vacancies.

Mustard Tree also operates several charity shops across Greater Manchester where it sells donated goods such as clothing, furniture, and household items. These shops not only provide affordable goods for local residents but also generate income that goes towards supporting the charity's work.

In addition to these services, Mustard Tree also offers a range of other support programs including housing advice and advocacy services for those facing eviction or homelessness.

One unique aspect of Mustard Tree's approach is its focus on building relationships with clients rather than simply providing handouts. The organization recognizes that many people who are struggling with poverty or homelessness have complex needs that require more than just material assistance. As such, it works closely with clients on an individual basis to identify their specific needs and develop tailored solutions that will help them achieve long-term stability.

Overall, Mustard Tree is an inspiring example of how charities can make a real difference in combating poverty and preventing homelessness. Its holistic approach focuses not just on meeting immediate needs but on empowering individuals to take control over their own lives and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.


In conclusion,

If you're looking for a way to make a positive impact on your community while combatting poverty & preventing homelessness then look no further than "Mustard tree".
