Join us for our annual Solidarity Sale in June to shop for a better world.
On Sunday 25 June, Emmaus Merseyside will donate 100% of takings from our Charity Superstore to Emmaus International. This annual sale, held by all Emmaus groups, is our movement’s main source of income to carry out solidarity programmes and campaigns across the world.
Local, Global, Vital!
The Emmaus movement began in France in 1949 when the first community was established. From 1954 onwards, Abbé Pierre travelled the world, became involved in the global fight against poverty and told others of his experiences with Emmaus. Many more Emmaus groups were formed in different countries. Created in 1971 by Abbé Pierre, Emmaus International is a solidarity-based movement, acting against poverty and social injustice. It now brings together more than 400 Emmaus groups across 41 countries, spread over 4 continents.
“The Emmaus movement, at its fundamental core, is about people coming together and, on witnessing the suffering of others, deciding to join forces.”
Abbé Pierre – Faims & Soifs no. 8 – Summer 1970
By shopping with us on the day of our Solidarity Sale, you will be taking action to support vulnerable and marginalised people across the world. Previous Emmaus Solidarity Sales have helped to fund refugee support in Ukraine, disaster relief efforts, water projects in Africa and education programmes for orphaned children in India.
