EMMAUS GREENWICH
Emmaus Greenwich provides a home and work for formerly-homeless men and women (our Companions). To help fund our community and to give our companions meaningful work, we collect and sell second-hand furniture, clothes etc and sell them in our shops in London. Our goal is to help homeless people regain their self-respect and help them move on to independent living.
