Emmaus Glasgow

Informasi umum

The Emmaus Community in Glasgow opened in 2006 and now operates a residential Community of 27 former homeless men and women (“Companions”) and a recycling/reuse business with two retail charity shops – Emmaus Partick and Emmaus Hamiltonhill in Glasgow.

We work closely with other organisations in the area to support those people who are homeless or trapped by poverty and to help them to develop skills and self-respect through working and contributing.

As well as working for the Community business, Companions are supported in whatever way they need to address the issues that have brought them into Emmaus, and encouraged to look outside themselves, working in projects to help others in the neighbourhood, and much further afield.

Our Companions have been involved locally with Get Hooked on Fishing, volunteering at the soup run, distributing The Pavement Magazine, as well as helping support other local charities in Glasgow. Also through our links with the Emmaus International Movement, in projects in Benin, West Africa and Bosnia.
