The Emmaus difference

Emmaus Leicestershire & Rutland is a homelessness charity offering active support to formerly homeless people and those at risk of homelessness.

We offer a home as well as meaningful work in our social enterprises; each person has their own room in our accommodation in Hinckley. People can stay as long as they wish and are offered opportunities to acquire skills as well as support when ready to move on.

“I want to spread the word and let people know about the fantastic work Emmaus does. They’ve changed my life.”

Keith, currently being supported by Emmaus

“When I first visited the Emporium shop in Hinckley I was amazed at how big it was and how much stuff was in there. I had never really been much of a charity shop shopper but this really blew me away.”

Lyn, Emmaus volunteer
