Emmaus Salford is thrilled to announce that we have been successful in securing funding from the Recycle for Greater Manchester Community Fund. This significant grant will allow us to expand our house clearance project, furthering our mission to reduce waste, provide low-cost essential items, and create valuable opportunities for the local community.
The house clearance project focuses on the repair, reuse, and recycling of a wide range of items, including furniture, clothes, bikes, and books. By diverting these items from landfill, we are not only promoting environmental sustainability but also offering affordable goods to those in need across Salford. This initiative plays a crucial role in our efforts to support individuals and families who may be struggling to access essential household items.
In addition to its environmental and social benefits, the expansion of the house clearance project will enable Emmaus Salford to offer more training, employment, and work experience opportunities. These opportunities are invaluable for individuals seeking to develop new skills, gain experience, and improve their employability. Through this project, we are helping to build a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the chance to thrive.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support from the Recycle for Greater Manchester Community Fund,” said Jackie Smith, Chief Executive at Emmaus Salford. “This funding will have a profound impact on our ability to continue and expand the important work we do. We look forward to seeing the positive outcomes that will result from this expansion, both in terms of waste reduction and community development.”
Emmaus Salford remains committed to making a meaningful difference in our community, and this latest development marks an exciting new chapter in our journey toward a more sustainable and supportive Salford.
