Emmaus North East is an award-winning charity that offers a home and life-changing support to help people progress after homelessness. Working together, we support people to put their lives back on track and build a better future. We see the person, their strengths, and the future they want to create.

From our residential community in South Shields, Emmaus offers skills, training and work experience with a home and place to belong – we’re there at every step of their journey out of homelessness. Our package of support is both personal and practical, empowering people to move on from homelessness for good.

No one’s life should be defined by homelessness. Emmaus North East delivers a range of programmes, projects and pathways to assist people on their journey to a better future. We offer tailored support that meets each person’s needs and goals, with the care and compassion that they deserve.

Connected to our community and helping to fund the support we offer, Emmaus North East operates a social enterprise, centred around our charity shops. We collect, process and sell a wide range of donated items, helping local residents live more affordable and sustainable lives. We also operate a free community laundrette, a wood workshop and volunteer opportunities, to combat loneliness and social exclusion.

Continued support from individuals, businesses and partners is vital to the success of Emmaus North East and the help we give to the people we support. By working together, we’re helping to end homelessness one person at a time.

All funds donated to Emmaus North East from CEO Sleepout Sunderland will be used to support people at our residential community in South Shields. Through our involvement with CEO Sleepout, we are also keen to raise awareness of homelessness in our region and how individuals and businesses can make a difference.
