Emmaus

Emmaus is a nationwide movement of local charities that empowers people to overcome homelessness. We provide the foundation of a home and a life-changing package of tailored support.

We're here for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, supporting more than 1,000 people every year. We see the person and their strengths – and help them get their life back on track, based on the future they want to create. We equip people with valuable skills, training and work experience to achieve their goals.

No one's life should be defined by homelessness. In our caring communities, we build on each individual's abilities, increasing their confidence and self-esteem. The people we support have a purpose and a chance to make a real contribution to their community.

Our charity shops, cafes and food growing projects give people opportunities for work experience and social interaction. Across the UK, Emmaus communities and social enterprises are a vital part of their local areas. Our charity shops are a place to find affordable furniture, household items, clothing, toys and more. We give new life to pre-loved items – reducing waste and promoting reuse.

Emmaus UK is the nationwide homelessness charity that supports and connects local Emmaus charities. In everything we do, we bring people together, amplifying their voices and experiences to prevent homelessness for good. We are also part of the global Emmaus movement for social change – operating in more than 40 countries across the world.

Working together, and with your support, we're ending homelessness one person at a time.
