Emmaus is a homelessness charity with a difference. We don’t just give people a bed for the night; we offer a home,meaningful work and a sense of belonging.

For many people who have experienced homelessness, losing their self-esteem can be the most damaging part of theirexperience. Being on your own, with no support around you can be soul destroying, leaving you feelingworthless.

Finding your way out of that situation isn’t easy, particularly when the only options available are temporary fixes,offering a bed for the night but little to occupy your days.

Emmaus is different because it provides a home for as long as someone needs it, in an Emmaus community. This givespeople the opportunity to take stock of their lives, deal with any issues they might have, and oftenre-establish relationships with loved ones.

“Companion” is the name given to those who live in an Emmaus community and work in the social enterprise, where theysupport themselves and one another. There are currently 850 companions living at 31 Emmaus communities acrossthe UK.

Rather than relying on benefits, Emmaus uses social enterprise to generate revenue that pays for companions'home, food, training and upkeep, as well as providing a small weekly allowance. This is key to restoringfeelings of self-worth, showing Companions that their actions make a real difference, both to their own life,and the lives of others.
