Raising money for

Emmaus

Charity Registration No. 1064470

Emmaus tackles the problems of homelessness through a network of self-supporting Communities, where people are offered a home, work and a sense of belonging. Emmaus residents (or "Companions" as they are known), each have a room of their own and work together, refurbishing and selling donated goods. Each Emmaus Community aims to become self-sufficient through raising income in this way. In an atmosphere of practical support, Companions have an opportunity to gain new skills and regain their self-respect while working to support other people in greater need. Emmaus UK is the national charity which supports existing Communities and assists the network of Groups which are working to develop new projects.

My story

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As you may or may not know I am running the Virgin London Marathon in April 2010 and am raising money for a great charity – Emmaus. Having only ever raced in a 10km run before this is going to be a huge challenge...and one I am sure will test me to the limit when I am pounding the streets in the dead of winter (instead of being tucked up in the pub with a glass of wine and a pie!). Neil is also running but for a different charity so don't forget to check his page out too!!

Emmaus offer homeless people a home, work and the chance to rebuild their lives in a supportive environment – in order to do so they rely heavily on donations from people like us...so dig deep people!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks everyone and lots of love,

Alex xx

ps. I am expecting to see you all there on the day cheering me on...or failing that waiting for me at the end with a juicy pint

Ooh, a whole winter with no binge drinking and pie eating, just think of it! Good luck, we'll be with you in spirit! xxxxx Donation by Louise and Dave 26/09/09
