Our Services

MEALS - We provide hot, nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks at heavily subsidised prices and free to those with no income.

SHOWERS -Available (free) for those who want one, as are towels and toiletries.

HAIRDRESSING - Free hair cutting available twice a week.

CLOTHING - There is a charity shop where clothing may be obtained at little or no charge.

MENTAL HEALTH - The Mental Health Team operates a regular drop-in service to provide specialist support. Counselling services are provided on a weekly basis. Activities we organise such as art classes and allotment-work have a therapeutic value, as do general social activities. Regular use of the gym builds confidence and self-esteem.

PHYSICAL HEALTH - Specialist nurses from the Homeless Health Team visit Emmanuel House twice a week, using the centre to deliver healthcare to those hardest to reach. We also liaise with local GPs on behalf of clients. There is a gym with a qualified instructor available to develop personalised training programs tailored to individuals’ health needs. For gentle exercise in the fresh air we run an Allotment Project supervised by a member of staff.

DRUG & ALCOHOL SUPPORT - The Homeless Drugs Team provides a drop in service to support people with alcohol and addiction problems. We also refer visitors to other agencies where appropriate.
