Emmaus Brighton & Hove Charity Partner
In the last three years, we’ve supported Sussex-based children charity Rockinghorse helping to raise funds for the purchase of essential equipment for the High Dependency Unit at the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. You can read more about this here.
From this year, we’re happy to announce we will support Emmaus Brighton & Hove, a charity that enables people to move on from homelessness, providing work and a home in a supportive community environment.
Companions, as residents are known, collect and resell donated furniture, bric-a-brac and other items. This work supports the Community financially and enables residents to develop skills, rebuild their self-respect and help others in greater need.
Their main site in Portslade Old Village is set in acres of beautiful grounds, including listed buildings, a Chapel, spectacular views and a Secret Garden. With six exciting social enterprises to explore (including a clothes shop, a Café and a second hand gardening shop), they have become an important social hub within the local community, as well as for visitors from all over Sussex.
