We offer a home.
At Emmaus, homeless people find a place where they can enjoy companionship and support. Each person has their own room whilst living in the Community.

We offer work.
All Companions (residents) work full-time and there is work for everyone. The Shops and Bistro provide a commercial setting where skills can be learnt in a friendly atmosphere.

We offer a new beginning.
Emmaus offers homeless people 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.
