On Wednesday 17th October after much anticipation we received handover of the new Emmaus accommodation block.
We opened our doors to four core Companions who have been instrumental in getting us up and running as a fully functioning Community.
Without their commitment, expertise and knowledge of Emmaus we would have struggled to achieve so much.
Precise military operation
One of the images ingrained in my mind was of the day the Companions arrived. This image will probably haunt me for years to come: the bedroom furniture arrived and was left by delivery men on our doorstep, many pieces of furniture including beds, wardrobes, chests and bedside cabinets standing in the car park. At this point, after a few 'oh my goodness' or words to that effect, a precise military operation started to get it all into the rooms.
Thanks to the hard work of the Companions and volunteers this enormous task was completed in two days - obviously there were one or two cases of fine tuning.
