Emmaus Greenwich supports people to move on from homelessness
Emmaus Greenwich provides a home and meaningful work opportunities for as long as this is needed
You can make a difference, by donating, getting involved or visiting one of our shops
One of the most important aspects of the Emmaus ethos is solidarity, helping others who are vulnerable or experiencing difficulties
"I saw the opportunity to volunteer to cook for Street Souls as an amazing experience. There are people in various circumstances who can’t cook or don’t have the facilities to cook at home or shelter. It’s a chance for them to get a warm meal, enjoy games and music, and have a friendly chat."
