Emmaus communities provide a home and meaningful work to people who have experienced homelessness and social exclusion. Our communities are situated all across the UK.

Most offer between 20 and 40 places for people to live. Once someone joins an Emmaus community, they are known as an Emmaus companion.

Unlike a lot of provision for homeless people, Emmaus communities offer a home for as long as someone needs it. Emmaus companions get a room of their own, food, clothing and a small weekly allowance.

How to access:

If you are currently homeless, or if you know someone who could benefit from support from Emmaus, get in touch with your local community. They will be able to tell you if they have spaces available and if they are able to meet your individual needs.

To find your local Emmaus, please use this link: https://emmaus.org.uk/your-local-emmaus/?region=all

To contact Emmaus please call us or complete this contact form: https://emmaus.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/

The training is themed according to key priorities; work and money, health and wellbeing, education and language, advocacy and advice, community safety and belonging, and housing and environment. In addition to MAP training, the project shares opportunities for attendees to exercise their voice and influence on key services within the city through consultations.

The project aims:

To increase newer communities understanding of life in Leeds and access to services.

To improve local neighbourhoods and strengthen community relations.

To connect communities and services to build capacity and improve partnership working.

To increase community voice and influence (community engagement, service development, social cohesion approaches and civic participation).

An 8 week training programme (2.5 hours each week) is regularly delivered through the project to train new Migrant Community Networkers.
