About Emmaus Suffolk:
Emmaus Ipswich evolved into Emmaus Suffolk in Oct 17. As with other Emmaus communities, the objectives of the charity are the alleviation and relief of poverty, hardship and distress that arises as a result. The organisation does this by offering meaningful activity for homeless, socially-isolated and long term unemployed people (beneficiaries) as appropriate, providing education, training and work opportunities
The beneficiaries have the opportunity to develop their skills to enable them to gain employment in the future, and a sense of self-worth and dignity through having a self-supporting life. In the long term this will include the provision of accommodation, or assistance in such provision for the beneficiaries.
The overarching aim is to become a self-sustaining business and service provider. Through providing meaningful occupation Emmaus creates for people, a means of gaining experience, training and transferable skills, building self-respect and personal empowerment. At the same time, it provides choice and access to good quality furniture and household goods for both low income families and the wider community.
We work with vulnerable individuals whom are homeless, vulnerably housed and/or workless. These individuals often do not identify they have support needs but work with our support workers. We have an holistic approach around each individuals wellbeing – both within the organisation but more importantly within the wider external community i.e how they cope day to day when they are not working here.
The Support Team works with the variety of needs of the individual, signposting to other organisations when necessary for specialist intervention. We view ourselves as the stepping stone for building confidence and skills for individuals to move on into independent living, employment, dealing with relationships etc. We build both social and work skills in a safe environment, to create a gateway to independent living.
Through our Community Hubs in Ipswich we run opportunities for community experiences, leisure activities, networking both with local businesses and services. Activities include crafting, upcycling, seasonal activities etc along with Gardening Club at two of our sites with out door space. We also offer opportunities for Work experience, Duke of Edinburgh and university placements.
Application for Trustee Roles:

Along side this we will develop the pioneering micro housing offer for UC and Full Companions enabling people to move from supported housing provision towards independent living. The development of an Emmaus Suffolk accommodation strategy, against the background of constant changes in benefits provision will be critical. The overarching aim is to become a self-sustaining county wide social enterprise, service and housing provider.
