Solidarity is a key aspect of the Emmaus ethos. Solidarity is standing with others who may be vulnerable or experiencing difficulties by supporting them in their time of need. We encourage everyone at Emmaus SLC to carry out acts of solidarity to make our communities better places to live in. This could involve fundraising, volunteering, and supporting those currently rough-sleeping.
We have a solidarity committee that meets once a month to discuss where best to direct our organised acts of solidarity. Every year, Emmaus SLC hosts two separate solidarity events to raise funds for worthy beneficiaries chosen by our solidarity committee. In 2023 they were for the Emmaus Europe Ukraine Fund and Street Storage in London.
This year’s are in the planning stage and will be announced soon. Follow us on social media to keep up to date!

Spinathon

Emmaus SLC staff, Companions, trustees and friends each took turns riding for one solid hour on a static exercise bike, as a test of endurance.
