For more than 25 years, Emmaus Dover provides accomodation, support and meaningful work opportunities in our own social enterprises for up to 27 men and women that have previously experienced homelessness, social exclusion. poverty and a lack of opportunities. We support single homeless individuals, who are often at risk of remaining homeless for longer periods as many do not have a local connection to an area or do not meet local authority requirements to access social, emergency or temporary housing. We are different from many other organisations as there is no limit to how long a Companion stays with us, and they do not need to have a local connection to the area to access our services. Our core purpose is to provide our Companions, with a home - a place of warmth, safety and security for as long as they need it. We give each Companion the chance to settle and take stock. They can then benefit from our offer of support and personal development opportunity through work within our various social enterprises, training and acts of solidarity. The offer of accomodation together with the opportunity to work and train helps people to help themselves - building confidence, self-worth and dignity on a journey towards employment and independent living in the future.
