This website provides general information about Emmaus Oxford, an independent registered charity that is also part of a national and international movement.
Emmaus Communities provide accommodation and work for formerly homeless people whom we call Companions. Companions come off benefits and volunteer to do up to 35 hours work a week at our Emmaus Oxford Secondhand Superstore and Shop at Temple Cowley which recycles furniture and other household goods.
As well as accommodation Companions receive a small allowance and essential bills are paid for them. They live in community and are fully involved in the running of this and do all their own cooking and cleaning as well as helping to run the Emmaus Oxford Secondhand Superstore and Shop at Temple Cowley. This model provides a structure in which formerly homeless people can start to contribute to society thereby regaining self esteem, learning new skills and getting into a rhythm of working.
If you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a Companion, please visit our homeless page.
If you are interested in donating or buying furniture or other household goods, please go to our Emmaus Oxford Secondhand Superstore or our Shop at Temple Cowley page.
If you would like to contribute financially, or as a volunteer or a friend or to look at any job vacancies please go to the Help Us page.
