Emmaus communities provide a home and meaningful work for people who have experienced homelessness, helping them to find a way to move on with their lives.
There are many ways you can support us, from volunteering to donating goods. Your support means that we get to carry on doing what we do best - helping those who need it most.
Emmaus North East has welcomed people who have experienced homelessness to its community in South Shields since 2017.
Key facts about our Emmaus North East community
We provide accommodation for up to 22 formerly homeless people, ready to make a fresh start.
As well as a home, we provide work, education and training to help them to gain employment in the future.
We are a homelessness charity with a difference, we are not a hostel for the homeless and we don’t just offer a hot meal or a bed for the night.
We have the support of South Tyneside Council and are working in partnership with them and other local agencies, and we are proud to be part of the South Tyneside pledge.
Our community is making a positive contribution to the local economy and is helping to meet the needs of vulnerable people in the area.
