Volunteering with Sussex Emmaus

Our volunteers are extremely important to us, providing a vital contribution in directly helping us to fight homelessness and inequality. Sussex Emmaus has a unique combination of companions, employees, trustees and volunteers; people from different backgrounds who all work alongside each other towards the same goal.

Volunteering is a great way to give back to your local community, learn new skills, gain confidence and meet people from all walks of life.

There’s a wide range of essential roles for volunteers that have a positive impact across our café, retail outlets or greenhouse, whether you can offer a few hours or a regular shift, we’d love to hear from you.
