It costs Emmanuel House £1500 a day to run the support centre and its core services, which include the provision of basic services for people who find themselves homeless in Nottingham.
We receive no statutory funding for these core services and we rely on donations from the public to keep us going.
Please consider supporting Emmanuel House by donating money, donating food or clothes, fundraising or volunteering.
