Emmaus Sheffield joins national homelessness assembly
Representatives from city homelessness charity Emmaus Sheffield joined delegates from across the country for the 2026 Emmaus UK National Assembly.
Sponsored by the Cooperative Bank and held at the University of Warwick, the assembly brought together Emmaus UK delegates from across the country.
Emmaus UK is the movement of 28 separate communities that empower people to overcome homelessness, providing the foundation of a home and a life-changing package of tailored support.
It equips people with valuable skills, training and work experience to achieve their goals, working together to end homelessness one person at a time.
“We were delighted that some of our companions, along with support worker Laura Lomas, were able to join other Emmaus representatives for the assembly,” said Emmaus Sheffield Marketing and Development Manager Charley Fedorenko.
“It gave them a great chance to share their stories and experiences and also to hear how Emmaus groups across the country are coping with increased demand for their services.
“It was also a welcome opportunity for them to learn more about such important areas as funding for the future and exploring new ways to deal with the ongoing homelessness crisis.”
