Emmaus

Emmaus Communities enable people to move on from homelessness, providing work and a home in a supportive, family environment. Companions, as residents are known, work full time collecting renovating and reselling donated furniture. This work supports the Community financially and enables residents to develop skills and rebuild their self-respect

Emmaus in Landbeach Cambridge was the first community to open in the UK in 1991. There are now 24 communities open over the UK and now has spread to 36 countries

Companions receive accommodation, food, clothing and a small weekly allowance, but for many, the greatest benefit is a fresh start. To join a Community, they sign off unemployment benefits and agree to participate in the life and work of the Community and abide by its rules, for example not bringing drugs or alcohol into the Community.

RSPCA

The RSPCA are one of 164 independent branch charities that also support the local work of the RSPCA's inspectors.

As a separately registered branch of the RSPCA they are responsible for raising funds locally to help animals in their area. They are run by local volunteers and raise money through fundraising events, donations and legacies.
