Emmaus Coventry & Warwickshire are a charity that helps homeless people by giving them a home, work and a chance to rebuild their lives in a supportive environment. The people we help are called Companions and they do a variety of jobs that include collecting donated furniture, selling donated items in our shops and much more just to keep this wonderful charity going.
A few months ago we ventured into gardening, painting and decorating and found that some Companions preferred this as this was what some had done for a living before becoming homeless. The only problems were the stereotypical views of the homeless, the fact we cannot always afford the correct tools and the also that we had a transient workforce. For example, we might have three gardeners one week and the next we may be left with one. Red Brick, particularly Alan took a gamble on us knowing all these things and we are truly grateful.
We now help him get various properties in a good rentable state, we have a great rapport with his team and not only does he volunteer for us, but just recently he housed 3 ex-Companions in one of his houses. So I would recommend Red Brick to everyone.
