Join us for our 20th Anniversary Spring Fair to thank you for two decades of support for people moving out of homelessness and others in need.
Since 2005, Emmaus Bolton has provided a home, work opportunities, training and support for people with experience of homelessness. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we’ve also helped protect the environment by reusing, repurposing and recycling tens of thousands of tonnes of items — saving 968 tonnes from local landfill over 12 months alone.
Now it’s time to say THANK YOU with a fun-filled day for everyone to enjoy!
