Sheffield firm offers work to homeless people

Gripple Ltd, which manufactures wire fasteners, is working with city charity Emmaus Sheffield, which provides homeless people with accommodation and a place to work and train, to help them become self supporting.

Emmaus Community Manager, Graham Bostock, said: “We are delighted that Gripple has shown faith in our organisation and offered us this chance to work with them.

“This project will mean a huge difference to the life of the charity as it provides a valuable source of income and also gives the companions a valuable and real opportunity to gain genuine work experience.”

Earlier this year Gripple helped the charity pay for a £200,000 extension.
