It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Emmaus Sheffield
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at homelessness charity Emmaus Sheffield as its popular second hand superstore launches a range of festive items for the home.
On sale at the charity’s Cadman Street store, close to Sheffield’s Canal Basin, is a full range of decorations, including some items hand crafted by the Emmaus companions and volunteers.
“You can go to the high street but if you’re looking for something a little more quirky and unusual I would say you should definitely call in and see what we have for sale,” said the charity’s Marketing and Development Manager Charley Fedorenko.
“Back in stock are our specially crafted Christmas trees and reindeer, all made in our workshops from recycled material and guaranteed to add a Scandinavian Hygge feel to the celebrations.
“Our Christmas Alley - packed with unusual ideas - is also being specially decorated to add a truly festive touch to Christmas shopping.
“Come in and take a look - and while you’re down here you’re almost certain to pick up a last minute gift or two from our extensive range of items, including everything from clothing to books, CDs and DVDs as well as household goods and bric-a-brac.”
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 for the people it supports – known as companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more.
The Emmaus shop sells a full range of tems to suit all tastes, with multiple spaces full of furniture, electrics, bric-a-brac, clothes, toys, books, vinyl and more, all donated by the public.
Stock changes on a daily basis, so visitors are guaranteed to see something new each time they visit the shop, which is open 10am to 4pm every day.
