Emmaus communities provide a home and meaningful work for people who have experienced homelessness, helping them to find a way to move on with their lives.

From house clearances to getting involved with the wider community, we offer a wide range of services.

There are many ways you can support us, from volunteering to donating goods. Your support means that we get to carry on doing what we do best - helping those who need it most.

Our stories show the journey an individual has gone on with Emmaus

So many people have a great story to tell about how Emmaus has touched their lives. Whether they’re companions, staff, trustees or volunteers, these stories show the impact Emmaus can have.

Now I have a bed, a great support worker Erin, people who listen to me, and I feel comfortable around. I now have time to process everything. I hope I can find myself with their support, find out who I am, and make something of myself.”

Sue’s Story

Building relationships with the companions is fulfilling; each person's story is unique, and if I can bring a smile, happiness, or warmth to someone, I consider it a job well done

Tony's Story

"Everyone thinks when a person is homeless they're either a drug addict or an alcoholic, but it’s not the case. For me, it was a marriage breakdown and that can happen to anyone."

Rob's Story

"I still class myself as being in recovery and Emmaus is a good place to feel secure."

Michael’s Story

"Thanks to Emmaus I have a calm and stable life, something which I have not had in years. I feel as though I could have a future, which going back two or three years I wouldn’t have seen as a possibility."

Erin's story

"Living at Emmaus doesn’t feel like a hostel, it feels like a community, and everyone is so lovely and welcoming."

Noel's Story

"It's been a long time since I've come to work with a smile on my face, I'll say that."
