Community Director - Richard
Richard joined Emmaus in 2018 after working in the social housing sector in Glasgow for many years.
“Having worked at Emmaus Glasgow since for more than six years, one of the joys is seeing the dedication of the entire team, who tirelessly support the community.
“Every day they go the extra mile to support companions to fulfil their potential.”
Community Leader - Mhairi
Mhairi enjoyed a career in social care before joining Emmaus Glasgow.
Empathy is vital to the role of community leader and Mhairi has a background in working in trauma-related roles. This is often central to people who are forced into homelessness.
“As the only Emmaus in Scotland, I think we do incredible work here. Some of the companions have been here long before me and care for their community and keep me right at times! The small staff team work incredibly hard and are willing to undertake any task they feel would benefit the community.
“I am continually humbled by the spirit of people, who face considerable life challenges and yet continue to be kind, trusting and determined human beings.”
