At Emmaus Oxford, our mission is to provide accommodation, work experience, training, support and a sense of belonging to those experiencing homelessness. We believe in the power of compassion and community to change lives. With Remember A Charity Week taking place from 11 – 17 September, we invite you to explore the incredible impact of legacy giving and how it can make a long-lasting impact on both Emmaus Oxford and the people we support.
A gift of compassion
Legacy giving is a deeply personal and compassionate way to support the causes you care about. It involves leaving a gift to a charity in your will after taking care of your loved ones. It’s a thoughtful and meaningful way to ensure that your values and passions continue to make a difference in the world, even after you’re gone.
A lasting impact
By leaving a legacy gift to Emmaus Oxford, you’re leaving a legacy of hope for homeless individuals in our city. Your support can provide accommodation, training, support, food, and essential resources to those in need for years to come. It’s a powerful way to extend your compassion beyond your lifetime.
Honouring your values
Emmaus Oxford is committed to creating a world where homelessness is a thing of the past. By including us in your will, you’re affirming your dedication to this vision. You’re sending a powerful message that homelessness is a social issue that matters to you.
You legacy
Your legacy gift can have a profound impact on our charity and the lives of those we support:
Sustaining our mission
Emmaus Oxford relies on the generosity of supporters like you to sustain our mission. Legacy gifts provide stable and long-term funding that allows us to plan for the future and continue offering vital services to people who experience homelessness.
Expanding our services
With your support, we can expand our programmes and services to reach even more people in need. This includes providing a safe home, work experience, training, and opportunities for individuals to regain their independence and dignity.
