Fundraising
Thank you for choosing to support Emmaus Colchester. All contributions are gratefully received and will go towards helping homeless people in Colchester.
We are very excited to announce that we have reached the target of our first phase of fundraising, £1,650,000 which covers the building cost. For the next and final phase of fundraising we need to raise £500,000. This will fund the staffing, transport, equipment and furnishings, of the Magdalen Street property, needed to ensure a well-run and productive Community that can pay for itself within three years of opening. We will also boost our retail space in the town and make room for workshops and furniture restoration.
