Emmaus Cornwall’s clear and priority aim is to create a community within the county which provides a home and work for as many homeless people as we can.
To realise our plans we will need to raise over £1million to either buy or build a suitable property with an adequate amount of land. Whilst this is a substantial sum, we have developed a fundraising strategy which we believe demonstrates that this target is achievable.
In addition to individual donations large and small, we will be seeking grants from statutory funders and trusts and foundations as well as establishing partnerships with local companies and businesses. We will be staging events (online for now!) and encouraging everyone in the wider community to fundraise for and with us. If you would like to make a one-off or monthly donation to us, please visit our website.
It's not all about money though. We also need help from willing and committed volunteers. If you would like to get involved, please check our available roles.
As this newsletter is a new venture, we welcome feedback on style and content and if you would like to contribute stories or articles for inclusion in future editions, please get in touch.
We hope you will support us in any way you can and that you will encourage others to do the same. Please share this newsletter with anyone else who may be interested in being part of the Emmaus Cornwall journey and encourage them to subscribe.
