“But there is still a great way to support us by taking a look at some of our great range of items - including computer games and consoles and DVDs - on our eBay page, where we are hoping they will generate some extra interest and income.”

Sheffield charity prepares to get people back into work

Emmaus Sheffield is the drug and alcohol-free project that provides a home, support and work for formerly homeless people in the city.

Through its Social Enterprise programme it aims to provide meaningful work and enable the people it supports – known as companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more.

One of the charity’s main fundraising schemes is its extremely popular secondhand and vintage store at the organisation’s headquarters in the historic Sipelia Works, close to the city’s Canal Basin.
