Your new company:The story behind the Matthew Project. The story of the Matthew Project began in 1984, with a Norwich-based Christian social worker called Peter Farley. Peter was concerned about the level of substance misuse he was seeing amongst young people in the city and felt that the existing provision was not doing enough to support them, and to?tackle the root cause of this issue.??Peter's idea was to set up the Tackle Shop, a Norwich-based drop-in for 12-25 years old to get confidential advice and support, particularly around substance misuse.
This was accompanied by an additional out-of-hours phoneline called the Tackle Line. Both services were immediately popular with young people, and this led to the establishment of a new charity, set up by Peter, called the Matthew Project, which comes from the word Matthew in the Bible meaning 'gift of God'.??Your new role:
