Emmaüs Bolton

Organisation set up in 2000 and member of Emmaus International since 2007. Emmaus Bolton was founded in 2000 and in 2005 the community bought an old building that the companions renovated themselves. The building – Derby Barracks – is a former territorial army barracks and is now home to the group’s 22 companions. In the first second-hand shop located close to Derby Barracks, the companions do traditional Emmaus community work: collecting, sorting, repairing and reselling donated goods at affordable prices.
