On Friday, we enjoyed a wonderful resident trip to Ely!
Although the day was chilly, the sunshine brightened our visit as we explored the Christmas market, enjoyed each other's company, and warmed up with delicious hot drinks.

Thanks to the generosity of The Liberation Cycle, our residents are gaining more than just a bike – it's giving them independence, and the freedom to explore Cambridge that little bit easier.
Here’s one of our residents with their brand-new set of wheels!

It’s National Stress Awareness Day

To get in the spirit of #BonfireNight, our allotment group celebrated with a cosy cook-out yesterday! They whipped up hearty tuna and veggie pasta, adding in some of the delicious veggies grown right at our allotment.

On Tuesday, our allotment group enjoyed a visit to Darwin Nurseries. We made the most of the autumn sunshine with a walk around the gardens, stopped for a well-earned hot drink, and even managed to spot some of the animals, including a few friendly rabbits!

Last winter, Tom* was freezing and surviving on just a small pizza a day. Lizzy fixed his heating and essentials, Louisa supported his mental health and finances. Step by step, Tom is rebuilding his life.

Declining mental health is one of the biggest challenges connected to homelessness. That's why wellbeing is at the heart of the support we provide for people experiencing homelessness.

On Friday, some of our team joined our residents for a fantastic trip to #TheFitzwilliamMuseum!
It was a chance to step away from the everyday, explore amazing art and historical items, and enjoy each other’s company. Moments like these mean so much.

A little throwback.
When Sam lost his home, life was tough. Moving into our supported housing gave him the stability to rebuild, with flexible support from our Project Workers, time at our community allotment, and mental health support from Louisa, our nurse.
Today, Sam’s living independently.

When we met Jasmine*, she’d spent a year in temporary housing with only a bar stool and a child’s camp bed, and no washing machine.
With the help of our team, donated furniture, and the Emmaus “solidarity package,” we transformed her space into a real home.

Last week we took a group of our residents for a wonderful day at the seaside. Even though the rain made an appearance, it didn’t spoil things. Fresh air, fish and chips, a few goes in the arcade, and good company made it a day to remember! 🏖️

We’re so proud of Ryan! After leaving prison, he faced an uncertain future - sofa surfing and battling addiction. Once he connected with us, we offered supported housing and mental health support.
Now, he’s in his own flat, clean and sober, and running a thriving gardening business.

A few months back, we built deer-proof fencing at our community allotment. Now it's up and working beautifully! Crops are thriving thanks to funding from @ngsopengardens.bsky.social.

We took some of our residents for a day out with Wintercomfort, Housing First & CHS Group. Rumble Live Action Gaming, lakeside strolls, and pizza to finish. Perfect day? We think so! 🍕☀️
