Emmaus Greenwich

Who we are

Emmaus Greenwich (pronounced em-MAY-us) is a homelessness charity with a difference. We don’t just give people a bed for the night; we offer a home, work opportunities and a sense of belonging.  We currently provide a home and meaningful work for up to 45 people who have experienced homelessness and social exclusion.

Work is an integral part of our community life, and the social enterprise side of any Emmaus community helps to generate the income that will ultimately make each of them self-sustaining, something every community is working towards.

We regularly offer support to anyone sleeping rough or struggling with poverty in London through our Street Souls outreach service, but we also carry out and engage in many one-off events, fundraising and volunteering activities, and donations to people and communities in need. 

The main business activity for us is collecting donated furniture and household goods and selling them in our 4 shops in London, and on our eBay page.
