Emmaus Village Carlton

About

At Emmaus Village Carlton we give people a home, meaningful work in our social enterprise and an opportunity to get themselves back on their feet. For many people who experience homelessness, one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem. Emmaus provides an opportunity to regain this, with a chance to make a real contribution to their community. Emmaus communities are not hostels for the homeless; we provide a home for as long as someone needs it. For many, this support and stability is like the family they don’t have, providing a safe environment in which to settle and re-build their lives. We sell donated goods, using the money generated to sustain our community. Set in the heart of the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, Emmaus Village Carlton is a shopping village full of preloved items, with attractive outdoor areas. The retail space includes an impressive Home Store, Boutique, Bric a Brac and the popular em's Bistro serving delicious food and cakes.
