Emmaus Bristol

Emmaus Bristol is a working community, where people access a long term home while they get back on their feet after experiencing homelessness. Their residents, called 'companions', run and operate their social enterprises - three charity shops, a furniture collection and delivery service, house clearance services and an ebay store. Companions train at the social enterprises to build work skills, with a goal to eventually get into independent employment and living. They can access courses, higher education and receive food, their own bathrooms and living space, a wellbeing fund and weekly financial living support.
