Emmaus South Manchester is seeking a new Chair of Trustees
Emmaus South Manchester is seeking a new Chair of Trustees to provide strategic leadership at an exciting time for our charity. Our next stage of development will involve fundraising and partnerships to secure a site, develop and progress the building, and launch our residential community.
What difference will you make?
Our new Chair of Trustees will oversee the exciting next stage of development of our charity. We already have the foundations of dedicated trustees, staff members and volunteers, and a thriving social enterprise that is helping to generate our start-up funds.
Our next step is to establish a residential community that will provide a home and life-changing support to people who experience homelessness. The Emmaus model is proven in supporting those affected by homelessness, to help themselves and to help other people in the communities in which they are based. The model flexes to local need, responding to specific challenges in different geographical areas and delivering innovative solutions to poverty and social exclusion.
