Why your support matters

Local challenges need local solutions.

Nottingham continues to face significant challenges linked to deprivation, homelessness and financial hardship. Demand for Emmanuel House services has almost tripled over the last five years, while costs continue to rise.

In 2025-26, we supported more than 1,330 people, providing:

  • Crisis intervention
  • Hot meals and refreshments
  • Showers, clothing and essential supplies
  • Emergency accommodation
  • Housing support
  • Wellbeing and outreach programmes
  • Community activities that reduce isolation.

Your partnership helps local people move from crisis to stability and independence.
