Tim's Story

Emmaus has given me so much help since I have been here, and I hope to be here for the foreseeable future.

Gary's Story

I settled into Emmaus Cambridge quickly. My job involves photographing donations and writing the draft descriptions for the eBay listings. I then do the packing when things are sold

Rob's Story

Since being in Emmaus communities I have always been looking for somewhere to call home, I believe I have found this at Emmaus Cambridge.
