As the UK Government looks to advance its circular economy ambitions, we are urging policymakers to recognise a vital but under-recognised sector: the nation’s reuse charities.

🤔 Did you know people supported by Emmaus #Bolton help in the charity shops and services?

As well as a wood workshop around the back of our homelessness charity accommodation, there is a 'portable appliance testing' PAT room where Emmaus companions ensure electricals are ready for sale 👍

In response to the government's announcement today on plans to cut incapacity and disability benefits, we have issued the following statement- highlighting how these cuts could deepen child poverty.

Morning read! ☕

We know that ‘stepping back’ doesn’t work. The key is a true partnership to tackle shared challenges.

Governments need to partner with the impact sector, not just ‘get out of the way’.
