Band drums up support for Emmaus
American band Anti-flag asked their fans to donate unwanted clothes to Emmaus at their gigs in Colchester and London.
Known for engaging with topical social issues, Anti-flag are always keen to give something back to the communities where they play. When they discovered how Emmaus Communities offer a way back from homelessness through working and living in a supportive environment, they recognised the effectiveness of the approach and asked their promoters to get in touch with Emmaus Colchester and Emmaus South Lambeth.
Emmaus Colchester and South Lambeth had stands at the two venues where they collected donations from fans. Lowlife, producers of music inspired fashion, donated items.
