Help us to celebrate 60 years!
Emmaus is looking for 60 special supporters to celebrate 60 successful years
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Emmaus movement and we're looking for sixty people to get involved with fundraising and awareness raising events.
So far our supporters have run Marathons, organised an open garden day, asked for donations for their birthdays and many more innovative ideas that not only raise funds but also raise awareness of Emmaus and our work across the UK.
