Community Development

Emmaus
Location – Leeds

This project involved the major overhaul of a rundown building, within the fringes of the centre of Leeds, and transforming it into one of the Emmaus Communities, Emmaus Leeds.

These type of communities offer the homeless a home and a place to work, running workshops where donated furniture is restored and then sold on in their shops. This then gives the homeless a chance to rebuild their lives.
