    So much more than a used furniture shop!! Emmaus effectively support homeless people by providing a home, training and support to work. They upcycle and build furniture, do upholstery, gardening, photography and more :) Read some success stories under "What we do" on their website, donate to this fab cause or shop in one of their 2nd hand shops. I noticed some bad reviews below about how heavily they vet items people donate but that is actually a plus point for buyers! I have bought many top quality items that have lasted years more than expected like my HUGE fridge! :) Rachel

    The Hacro team at Emmaus made a stunning bespoke planter box for my balcony. I was blown away when I picked it up. Solid piece of workmanship and I absolutely love it. The team are very very talented and I can highly recommend Emmaus.

    Absolutely brilliant service, very friendly, helpful and communication was great. They did a house clearance and helped make the hassle of moving house so much easier. Thanks so much!

    I took some items there to donate them and I was looked up and down and followed around the shop, they made me feel as if I was a suspect of something, they didn't take my donation. I received a very different treatment from the middle aged english woman that was there before me. You will be treated differently if you are not British. I've used emmaus in France many times. It's like day and night. Very pretentious here...
