Working together to end homelessness
About us
Homeless charity and social enterprise working together to end homelessness. Our secondhand furniture social enterprise helps fund accommodation, support and meaningful employment for 42 formerly homeless individuals in Hertfordshire. With five stores located across the county (Hertford, St Albans, Boxmoor, Tring and Harpenden) our 42 companions help run our successful secondhand furniture stores selling a mixture of restored furniture, large, medium and small furniture, electrical items and white goods, clothing, books, and much more. We offer free collection of donated items and affordable delivery. Any items we cannot sell or are beyond economical repair are broken down and recycled.

We are hugely grateful to our friends at CRASH - Construction Industry's Charity – for making our companions’ rooms more energy-efficient and comfortable. Thanks to CRASH’s construction partners, VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd, our community bedrooms have been modernised and improved with new self-regulating radiators, energy efficient lighting and washing basins. A massive thank you to VolkerFitzpatrick for helping deliver this fantastic work and to CRASH for their ongoing support. Pictured (left to right) in front of our van are: Ruth Marsden and Vipesh Mistry (both from CRASH, Steve Hodkinson (The Worshipful Company of Plumbers), Trisha Pickersgill (CRASH), and Duncan Lewis (our Chief Executive). #emmaushertfordshire #crashcharity #crashcharityprojects #CrashCharity #thankyouforyoursupport #thankyou #makingadifference #HomelessnessMatters

We've received a huge boost after being chosen by prestigious removals company, Abels Moving Services, as its chosen charity. Based in Potters Bar, Abels started to provide their moving services to the Royal Household in 1981, and in 1988 was honoured to be the first removals and storage company to be nominated ‘By Appointment’ to Her Late Majesty the Queen. Abels have chosen to work with us in recognition of the vital work we do to support people who have experienced homelessness with a home, tailored support, companionship and work opportunities. They are making their clients aware of our work and were incredibly supportive by providing lots of furniture and items ahead of the opening of our new store in Letchworth in May. A huge thank you to Abels for their fantastic support! Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/d4ynCg5X

A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers, Keith, Rob and Tom from Bunzl UK and Ireland for transforming part of our garden today! The gang worked extremely hard cutting down the jungle-like vegetation next to our recycling yard, transforming the area at the side and back of our storage marquee. It looks so neat and tidy now, what a difference! Thank you guys for all your hard work today, we really appreciate it! 🙏💚 #bunzl #Bunzl #volunteersrock #volunteerspirit #volunteersmakeadifference #volunteers #thankyou #thankyouforyourhelp

Its #tranformationtuesday and this week its the kind of makeover that celebrates quality craftsmanship and restores something beautiful to its former glory. Just look at the difference a bit of love, care and skill can make... This piece really is stunning and we don't think it'll hang around long! Making it's way out to our Letchworth store later this week! #emmmaus #furniture #furnitureflip #restoration #home #interiors #charity #workshop

Thanks to the Hertsad for their great coverage of our recent £50,000 funding boost from CPL Aromas, which enabled us to appoint our new Community Support Manager, Harley Scott. Harley’s crucial new role is allowing us to provide better support services and more positive outcomes for our current and new companions, the formerly homeless people living in our community home. Harley will be leading our support team to provide our companions with specialist tailored support for complex needs such as addiction and trauma, as well as increasing wellbeing activities. The latest donation is in addition to £25,000 donated to us by CPL Aromas last year which was also used to strengthen our support services for companions. A huge thank you to CPL Aromas for their incredible support! 🙏 💚 https://lnkd.in/e84xXSkP

On today’s #WellbeingWednesday we’d like to say a huge thank you to Kedrion Biopharma in Elstree for inviting us to take part in their open day yesterday allowing local community groups and organisations to share volunteering and wellbeing opportunities and advice. The event was focused on health and wellbeing and included an opportunity for our charity to share how people can get involved with volunteering, a proven way of enhancing personal satisfaction and fulfilment by supporting people in greater need. Adie and Graham from our community hosted an information stand and told visitors all about the different volunteering opportunities within our charity to support our vital work ending homelessness for vulnerable people.

Today's the day that the nation casts their votes to determine the next government. We're taking #ActionOnHomelessness Emmausuk with our new Action On Homelessness Manifesto to hold the incoming government to account over the coming months and years. During General Election week, our community has been sharing what we’d like politicians to focus on to end the misery of homelessness and the causes of homelessness in the future. Join our fight for lasting change by visiting: https://lnkd.in/ev7yAYqv and read about our manifesto's ‘six core principles’ that we are calling on the next government to adopt to address housing and homelessness over the coming years.
