Emmanuel House

Emmanuel House is an independent charity that supports people who are homeless, rough sleeping, in crisis, or at risk of homelessness in Nottingham. Their purpose is to tackle isolation, vulnerability and homelessness within our community by providing an inclusive, compassionate service to people who need help, whether it's providing brief reassurance or more in-depth and prolonged support.

Mind

When you're living with a mental health problem, or supporting someone who is, having access to the right information is vital. Mind are working to make sure nobody has to face a mental health problem alone. People need our support more than ever, and demand for our services is growing. Mind only exist because of the amazing support of people like you. We value your support and we're committed to treating you with respect and openness.
