Welcome to Emmaus UK
Emmaus Communities offer homeless people a home, work and the chance to rebuild their lives in a supportive environment. There are currently 19 Communities around the UK and several more in development.
We rely on donations of good quality furniture and household goods from the public, which are sold in Emmaus shops. Find out about donating or buying items.
New research shows that each Emmaus Community could save £800,000 in public spending. Read more.
