Solidarity around Emmaus

Emmaus communities and groups across the UK joined forces in a month-long solidarity campaign during June, showing support and raising funds for others.
Solidarity is a core part of the Emmaus movement. Following in the footsteps of founder, Abbé Pierre, Emmaus gives back by helping others who are experiencing need. Throughout June, communities and groups took part in a month-long Embrace Solidarity campaign to celebrate the good work that takes place across Emmaus.
From fundraising events, to delivering supplies to earthquake-hit regions in Syria and Türkiye, people took part in a wide range of activities. Communities and groups also held Solidarity Sale days and events, donating their proceeds to Emmaus International. From there, the funds will be used to support Emmaus groups across the world.
Here are just some of the many activities that took place.

About Emmaus
Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social enterprise and an opportunity to get back on their feet again.
For many who experience homelessness, one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem, Emmaus provides people with a stable home and the opportunity to regain their self-worth, making a real contribution to their community.
Research shows that for every £1 invested in a community, there is an £11 social, environmental and economic return, with savings to the benefits bill, health services and a reduction in crime reoffending.
