Reunited with childhood teddy 40 years on
“You look at its nose, you look at its stitching and you look at the pictures, and I’m saying ‘where have you been for 40 years?'”

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.

Geraldine“I would just like to say how delighted I am with my purchase of the table and chairs from Emmaus, creating the chance to upcycle solid pieces of furniture to give them a new serviceable life. I would like to add a special thank you to Phil who helped support my colour choices and paint finish and Andres for completing the beautiful bespoke finish on both my table and chairs, and Ercol unit. A superb finish bringing all the recycled furniture to beautiful new beginnings.”“The gentlemen that took the furniture in were lovely and polite. It’s all the personal things that adds to the experience of going to Emmaus Bolton.”
TikTikor Adam Crolla - Adcro“If you’re anywhere near Bolton, come and check out Emmaus Bolton. It’s well worth it for a day out. Get your lunch as well and get one of those ice creams afterwards. Look online, there might be an Emmaus near you. It’s worth going and having a nosey and helping out. You are going to be supporting people who are trying to support themselves and it’s a good charity.”
Evelyn Clayton, Headteacher of St Joseph The Worker RC Primary School“We feel we have got a bespoke product that has been made with love and we are delighted that we, in turn, have been able to support the wonderful work happening in Emmaus!”
Emmaus Bolton supporter Janine Jones at our charity cafe“You can afford to bring all the great grandchildren here, not just one, and let them choose from the menu; they don’t have to choose from a kids’ menu.”
Jenny Ramwell, Business Manager at Mersey Drive Community Primary School“The workmanship was amazing. Where the team assisted us with the design has been very good”
Leanne Waring, founder of group fundraising for 'buddi benches' in schools, Be More Ted“Ted would have approved of Emmaus Bolton making the benches because the charity is for people not feeling like a significant member of society. It’s about making sure everyone feels wanted, needed and valued.”
