Story

A team from the University's of Nottingham's Catholic Community are running the Morrisons Great Birmingham Run half-marathon on 18th October 2015 to raise money for Emmanuel House. It is a local Nottingham charity which is supported solely by personal contributions. For more information about the charity, please visit: http://www.emmanuelhouse.org.uk/site/

With no statutory funding, Emmanuel House relies on donations from individuals, schools, fundraising and businesses. Please donate today to help the charity to continue providing urgent support and services to the homeless & vulnerably housed in Nottingham. Any amount that you can offer is much appreciated!

Emmanuel House, founded in faith in 1976, welcomes between 60-90 visitors each weekday and 30-50 on weekends. They provide basic needs for homeless, vulnerable or isolated adults in and around Nottingham.

The Day Centrimagese, the one of its kind in Nottingham, is open 365 days a year and provides additional support services, trained professionals and a core programme of social activities, encouraging positive change and empowerment. They emphasise on practicalities as well as offering an environment without judgement for those in need.

The Winter Shelter runs between the winter months of November to March providing approximately 22 beds per night to rough-sleeping individuals. Emmanuel House staff and volunteers manages the Shelter, ensuring the urgent needs of rough sleepers are met as quickly as possible. Some temporary accommodation is provided in local church halls.
