At Emmaus Village Carlton people who have experienced (or been at risk of) homelessness, find a place where they can enjoy companionship and support.
We offer a home
Each person has their own bedroom whilst living in the community – in fact, with 42 rooms, we’re the biggest homeless accommodation providers in Bedford borough. When a companion wants to move on, he or she will be assisted to find accommodation and work.
We offer work
All companions (residents) work full time and there is work for everyone. Our Home Store, Boutique, Bric a Brac shop and Bistro provide a commercial setting where skills can be learned in a friendly atmosphere.
We offer a new beginning
Emmaus offers people who have experienced homelessness a fresh start in life with the support of the community around them. They can stay as long as they wish and are offered opportunities to acquire skills. When a companion wants to move on, he or she will be assisted to find accommodation and work.
