What this is built from
Public information. Every figure carries the source it came from.
The sources
| Source | What it supplies |
|---|---|
| Emmaus UK’s finder and community pages | Which communities there are, their pages and their contact postcodes. |
| Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, statutory homelessness statistics | Households each council assessed as homeless and owed the relief duty, April 2024 to March 2025, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
| Charity Commission for England and Wales | What each charity is for, who for and how, where it says it operates, and its latest income, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
| Companies House | Legal form and company type, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
| Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government | The English indices of deprivation 2025, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
| Office for National Statistics | Which area a postcode is in, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. |
What the register cannot say
29 of the 30 Emmaus communities belong to a charity on the register for England and Wales. The rest are in Scotland, on the Scottish register, and are not joined here.
What this will not do
- It does not contact anybody. Nothing here has been sent to any of the Emmaus communities.
- No telephone numbers, no personal email addresses and no full postcodes. Each one’s own website is here, because a website is a route to an organisation.
- Nothing is scored and nobody is ranked. There is no good and bad one on this site, and no figure here is divided by any one charity’s income or the people it works with.
- No claim wider than what was counted. “Neither record shows an Emmaus community here” is a fact about two records. “There is no help for homeless people here” is a claim about the world, and nothing here is in a position to make it.
How current this is
Nothing here is typed in or kept up by hand. Every page is produced from the sources above, and carries the date it was made. The count of households found homeless is for April 2024 to March 2025, the latest full year published; the finder was read the day this was made.
