Emmaus Bristol is a local charity that supports people who have experienced homelessness and poverty in and around Bristol. It provides stable homes, personalised support, training, and work experience to formerly homeless adults, helping them rebuild confidence and skills. The charity runs shops, an online store, and social enterprises where donated furniture, clothing, and household items are collected, sorted, and sold, generating income that directly funds its work. Through this model, companions gain meaningful roles, develop skills, and work toward independent futures while contributing to the community. Emmaus Bristol also offers affordable family homes and practical services that strengthen local support networks.
