Thank you to the students from Alderman Knight School in Tewkesbury for donating all of these essential items for our homeless outreach provision during a visit to our charity! 💚

Two of our vans were vandalised at our Gloucester site last night. The cost of repairs and disruption to our social enterprise will have a huge financial impact on our homelessness charity. If anyone has any info we can pass on to the police please email [email protected]

Talking of kind: E does her work experience at an Emmaus shop and the manager and staff could not have been lovelier or more supportive. #autism

"My sister didn’t originally know I was homeless, but since finding out she has been helping me through my depression, always at the end of the phone and helping me financially. Although now I am at Emmaus not so much, but she’s been my right arm and is always there."
- Filipe 💚
