About Sussex Emmaus

Sussex Emmaus is a charity that empowers people to overcome homelessness for good. We provide a stable home and life-changing, tailored support for people who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness.

We see the person and their strengths, helping them rebuild their lives based on the future they want to create. As part of a nationwide movement of Emmaus charities, we equip people with valuable skills, training and work experience, helping them move forward with confidence and achieve their personal goals.

No one’s life should be defined by homelessness. Within our supportive community, people are encouraged to build on their abilities, grow in confidence and self-esteem, and develop a renewed sense of purpose. The people we support are empowered to make a positive contribution to the community around them.

Sussex Emmaus is also a vibrant part of the local area. Our Portslade second-hand superstore offers affordable furniture, household items, clothing, books, toys and more. By giving new life to pre-loved items, we reduce waste and promote reuse, helping the environment while supporting people on their journey out of homelessness.

Across our site, we also run a café, the Outfit vintage clothing shop, The Greenhouse, a bedroom store, a vintage emporium and an upcycling workshop. In addition, we have an Outfit vintage shop on London Road in Brighton.
