A homeless charity with a difference. Not just a bed for the night, we offer a home, meaningful work experience and intensive support.

Winner in the Aviva UK Broker Community Fund 2024

This project has been nominated by Ravenhall Risk Solutions in the Aviva UK Broker Community Fund in 2024.

For many of the people we support, having an opportunity to contribute to society whilst being part of a supportive community, rebuilds their confidence and self-esteem. Emmaus doesn’t just provide a bed for the night. We offer a home for as long as someone needs it, a tailored support package and meaningful work experience in our community and social enterprise.

 Emmaus Hull & East Riding is based in a purpose-built community building, called The Orchard. Our residential community is home for up to 30 formerly homeless people, known as companions. Our community provides companions with the support network and sense of belonging that many people who have experienced homelessness may have lost. It’s a safe and caring place where people can settle and rebuild their lives.

We work with each individual to provide person-centred support. Our aim is to help companions back to independence by providing education, training and rehabilitation, alongside increasing confidence and self-esteem.

Our project relates to financial wellbeing as we have a structured support package that encourages progression at each individual’s pace. The support we offer includes mental health, physical health, basic living skills, substance misuse, offending behaviour, social interactions, work experience and behavioural management. We use the Outcome Star tool to help visualise growth and identify specific areas to work on. Training is identified and offered that is appropriate for the person, their goals and their journey whilst with us.  We focus on what it means to be financially independent when taking that next step into independence.
