Welcome to Emmaus Bolton

Emmaus Bolton provides a home and meaningful work to up to 20 people who were formerly homeless, earning their income through our two shops and our recycling business.

Joining our community

Anyone over the age of 18 is able to request a place in the community, provided you are willing to take part in community life and work in our social enterprises.

We do not operate a waiting list and therefore admittance is on a first come basis. Unlike other homelessness charities, there is no restriction as to the length of stay – companions are welcome to live in the community until they are ready to move on.

Get Help

Following the Government’s announcement this evening, all our stores will close with immediate effect until further notice.

Our community will continue to support formerly homeless people to rebuild their lives, and the wellbeing of our companions, staff, volunteers and local community will always be our priority.

We are really grateful for your support during this uncertain time and we will keep you updated with any further developments.

Stay safe everyone.
