| Organisation Statement | The centre was officially opened in 1994 by HRH Prince Charles in the company of Abbé Pierre, the founder of Emmaus and the late Lord Robert Runcie then Archbishop of Canterbury.The community re-opened in 2001 after a period of closure for refurbishment which was carried out thanks to a sizeable donation from the Oak Foundation amongst others.The Community which is a home for formerly homeless people,has since grown to its full capacity of fifteen (15) Companions, as residents are called.Like other Communities, we run a recycling project collecting donated bric-a-brac, furniture and household appliances.We have a wood and an electrical workshop for doing minor repairs where needed and PAT testing for electrical items.These items are sold in our second-hand shop at affordable prices with the proceeds going towards making the charity financially self sustainable.
