Nov 17 2022: Take flight with Santa and his reindeer at Emmaus Sheffield

IT’S beginning to look a lot like Christmas at homeless charity Emmaus Sheffield…especially with Santa’s sleigh and reindeer now on site!

The colourful addition to the charity’s Festive decorations has been made by the Emmaus companions and is now in place and ready for visitors young and old to take seasonal selfies.

And the famous Emmaus Second Hand Superstore is fully stocked with decorations and bargain Christmas gift ideas.

“You can go to the high street but if you’re looking for something a little more quirky and unusual I would say you should definitely call in and see what we have for sale,” said Emmaus Sheffield Deputy manager Charley Fedorenko.

“We feel there’s a distinctly festive Scandi-style flavour to our hand crafted decorations and they’ve generated a lot of interest.

“Come in and take a look - and while you’re down here you’re almost certain to pick up a gift or two from our extensive range of items, including everything from clothing to books, CDs and DVDs as well as household goods and bric-a-brac.”

Emmaus Sheffield is the drug and alcohol free project that provides a home, support and work for formerly homeless people in the city.

Through its Social Enterprise programme it aims to provide meaningful work for the people it supports – companions - to eventually become self-supporting once more.

The shop, based in the charity’s headquarters in Cadman Street, near Victoria Quays, is now open 10am to 4pm every day.
