Emmaus Dover is one of more than 350 communities throughout the world. Emmaus provides a home, work and a future for men and women who were previously homeless.

History:

We have been in Archcliffe Fort since 1995. The buildings were in various states of dilapidation then so we were only partly operational in the early years. After spending around £500,000, we have been fully operational on the site since July 1998.

How we operate:

Emmaus Dover has its own business. We collect, repair, renovate and resell donated goods of all sorts, with particular emphasis on furniture and electrical white goods.

Some new goods are made in the community workshop, using recycled materials wherever possible. We also do some gardening work. The aim is that the community will be financially self-sustaining. We currently provide accommodation and support for 27 formerly homeless people at our site at Archcliffe Fort.

The following shops and services are now open:

Archcliffe Fort shop (open Monday to Friday 9am-4.30pm | Saturday 9am-4pm)

We are available for donation drop-offs from Monday to Friday, between 10am and 4pm.

Deliveries are now available

Furniture collections can now be arranged
