Financial donations to homeless charity Emmanuel House

Nottingham homeless charity Emmanuel House

We’re an independent homeless charity in Nottingham that receives no statutory funding for its core services. We rely on donations from individuals, schools, fundraising and businesses to continue providing much-needed support to people who are homeless.

During the current climate, we’re all too aware that every penny counts. This is particularly true for homeless charity Emmanuel House. We are busy exploring all funding options and ensuring all money raised is maximised for our beneficaries.

How much does it cost to run homeless charity Emmanuel House?

It costs Emmanuel House £1500 a day to run the support centre and its Access team, which includes the provision of basic services for people who find themselves homeless in Nottingham. This doesn’t include the £1000 a night it costs to run our Winter Shelter.

Direct debits and regular donations

If you have the means to set up a monthly donation to your local homelessness charity, direct debits of any amount have a huge impact. You can become a friend of Emmanuel House by signing up to make a regular donation.

These monthly donations provide financial stability and help us predict potential shortfalls in income. Financial resilience is essential for our survival. You can set up a direct debit via our online donation page. We use online payment processing solution GoCardless for all our direct debits. As little as £1 per month makes a huge difference to Emmanuel House and our service users.
