An individual can apply directly to the Community Manager (address and phone number below) to request a place in the Community but if they are already living in a hostel or are perhaps sleeping rough but in contact with a referring organisation we ask that organisation to make the application for them.

If your organisation would like to refer someone to the Emmaus Community with a request for their admission as a Companion you will be asked to fill in a confidential referral form and post or email it back to a member of the support team. If you use email please write 'referral' and the applicant's name in the email header.

Referral form

The Community Manager is in charge of Admissions and referrals.  If you would like to speak with them in confidence their direct number is 01273 426 475. If you do not get an immediate answer you can leave a message on their voicemail and they will get back to you. The Community Manager is normally available Tuesday to Saturday 9-5pm.
