Emmaus Brighton & Hove

We know that overcoming homelessness often means more than a roof over your head. That’s why Emmaus supports people to work their way out of homelessness, provides purpose as well as a stable home for as long as someone needs it. In the past 24 years Emmaus Brighton & Hove has provided a unique solution to combatting homelessness to over 1,500 Companions (residents) many of whom have complex needs.

We operate seven separate enterprises:

The Secondhand Superstore

Outfit @ Emmaus

Emporium @ Emmaus

The Greenhouse @ Emmaus

The Bedroom Store @ Emmaus

Revive @ Emmaus

Emmaus by the sea (Southwick satellite shop)

Our social enterprises not only provide a variety of sales channels for our donated

goods and different reasons to visit our site as customers, they also create a

multitude of roles and teams within which Companions can learn different skills –

from catering to retailing, transport to maintenance, pricing to customer service.

Every penny spent at Emmaus goes back into our Community.

We continue to grow, evolve and develop our Community and its social enterprises

despite facing many of the challenges common to the charity sector today. This

shows up in the organisation’s positive spirit and ‘can do’ approach to taking on new

opportunities and improvements, to be the best it can be.

Our impact does not stop at providing home, support and opportunity for

Companions. Our Community helps those in need through acts of Solidarity,

creates rewarding volunteering opportunities, generates employment and

supports a variety local businesses.
