Project 33-Gracie Marie

🤍 A little note about Project 33 nominations

Since the recent media coverage, we’ve received an incredible number of nominations, and we are so grateful for every single one.

One thing we’d like to clarify is what Project 33 is designed for.

We would love to help every kind person, every hard-working family and everyone who deserves something nice. If we could, we’d be transforming homes every weekend.

Unfortunately, that’s not the reality.

Project 33 exists to support people facing significant challenges, hardship or vulnerability, where a home transformation could genuinely change their quality of life and wellbeing.

There is no exact checklist. Every situation is different.

It could be someone struggling with their mental health, a family living with disability, a parent raising children alone, someone dealing with illness, bereavement, trauma, caring responsibilities, financial hardship, or any number of circumstances that place significant pressure on daily life.

These are simply examples. We understand that hardship looks different for everyone, and no two stories are ever the same.

When reviewing nominations, we look at the overall situation, the challenges being faced, and whether Project 33 could make a meaningful difference to that person or family’s life.

We’re looking for people who genuinely need a break, need some hope, and could benefit most from the support of this incredible community.

Thank you for continuing to nominate, support, share and believe in what we’re building together.

Thank you for your support mum ❤️

FROM THIS… TO THIS….is 48 hours!

A few weeks ago, we met Sarah… a mum who was really struggling.

A mum who had become isolated, overwhelmed and exhausted while raising three boys with additional needs and trying to navigate some incredibly difficult circumstances.

I knew when I met Sarah she just needed some kindness.

It’s been absolutely crazy over the last few days, more than 40 volunteers, tradespeople and local businesses came together with one goal….to give this family hope, comfort and a home they could be proud of…. You all smashed it guys!

No wages.
No hidden agenda.
Just good people helping people.

This morning we handed the keys back to Sarah…

There were lots of tears.
There were hugs.
And there wasn’t a dry eye in the room🥹

The transformation is just incredible, but the real magic wasn’t the decorating, the furniture or the flooring.

It was the kindness…. Our Volunteers are some of the best people I have ever met.

A massive thank you to
Every person who donated, volunteered, shared a post, supplied materials or simply believed in what we’re trying to do helped make this happen.

This is what community looks like.

This is Project 33.

Watch the full reveal tonight on BBC News at 6:30pm.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether ordinary people can still make an extraordinary difference…

This is your answer. 💛🏡

Project 33
Changing homes. Changing lives. Building community. 💛

👀 Keep your eyes peeled... 6pm. 💛

What a morning.

We've done the reveal, we've met the family, and honestly, it couldn't have gone any better.

There were plenty of tears, plenty of hugs, and lots of emotions all round. Seeing the family's reaction made every late night, every challenge and every bit of hard work completely worth it.

Afterwards, the team all met up for breakfast, still trying to process what we've achieved together. We're exhausted, emotional, and still on a massive high.

We cannot wait to share it all with you.

See you at 6pm. 💛🏡
