Nottingham Building Society has announced a significant donation of £100,000 to Emmanuel House to coincide with World Homelessness Day. This incredible contribution marks the beginning of a partnership aimed at helping to tackle homelessness in Nottingham.

The donation will play a crucial role in enabling us to enhance our portfolio of temporary accommodation and expand our wrap-around support services.

As part of its partnership, The Nottingham’s team has committed to a range of volunteering activities, including the Winter Shelter programme from October to April, where they will prepare and serve meals to those staying at the shelter. They will also be arranging collections for food, clothing, and donations to further support Emmanuel House’s mission.

“We are proud to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Emmanuel House in their critical mission to combat homelessness in our community. Our donation marks the beginning of a partnership, and we are committed to collaborating closely to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Many of our team have already volunteered for the charity this year, witnessing first-hand the remarkable work done by Emmanuel House in providing support and care to those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or have previously experienced homelessness. Their experience serves as our inspiration to take action.”

Chief Executive Officer, Sue Hayes

“This partnership offers a remarkable opportunity for us to expand our services and provide essential support to those experiencing homelessness in Nottingham. Together, we can make a tangible and lasting difference in the lives of the most vulnerable members of our community”.
