Who we are
History and development of Emmaus Burnley
In the aftermath of the General Election 2005, Revd Lawrence Laycock (now Deputy Chair) and Peter Pike (Retired after previous 22years as MP for Burnley, now Chair) agreed to form a campaigning group, to tackle the needs of homeless and socially excluded people in Burnley and East Lancashire. They convened a founding meeting on 29th November 2005, when a Steering Group was formed. In November 2006, the campaigning group was accepted as an affiliate emerging group in the federation of Emmaus UK, from whom they took their name Emmaus Burnley.
