"Before Emmaus House I used to
steal to eat. I used to walk around
like a tramp. But now I am like a
gentleman because of the clothing
service."
"I have had cancer six times in the
last fifteen years. Ian (the Centre
Manager) said there was an Irish
service every month at the Centre…
I now use the Centre on a regular
basis, not for the food, more for
the company of people in similar
situations."
"Without Emmaus House my life
would fall apart… I have made a lot
of friends, I no longer feel suicidal
as I have received so much help
and advice on how to cope with my
mental illness."
"It's my home. Without it I'd be
sitting on a park bench somewhere
freezing."
"JY came from a broken home and
had been drinking since his teens. He
had lost his wife, his house and his
job. He was helped to a Detox clinic
in Ealing, spent three weeks there
and has not taken alcohol since."
"I came in to get food. I got clean
clothes and washed up. I was going
to steal for food & met this priest. I
talked to him and he made a different
man of me. I love Emmaus House.".
