Company of Cutlers’ Charitable Trust supports Emmaus Sheffield
City homelessness charity Emmaus Sheffield has received £1,000 from Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire Combined Charitable Trust.
The Company of Cutlers has a long-standing tradition of donating to a wide range of local charities and organisations committed to making a positive impact.
Emmaus Sheffield was among the charities to receive support in the first round of CCCT donations for current Master Cutler Professor Keith Jackson.
Emmaus Sheffield chief executive Graham Bostock commented: “We are delighted to be among the charities selected for support by the Master Cutler, celebrating the work we do with some of the region’s most vulnerable people.
“Emmaus Sheffield is currently looking forward to an important new era of expansion and this donation is a welcome addition to our fundraising efforts.”
Emmaus Sheffield is the working community with quality, self-contained accommodation, training facilities and a workspace for previously homeless men and women aged 18 years and over.
It aims through its Social Enterprise programme to provide meaningful work and enable the people it supports – known as companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more.
