HRH the Duchess of Cornwall has become Royal Patron for the homelessness charity
Emmaus in the UK.

Emmaus offers homeless men and women a home and work within a supportive community
environment. Residents sign off unemployment benefits and work full-time at the 
business of the Community, collecting, refurbishing and selling donated furniture
and household goods. Each Community aims to be financially self-sufficient through
this work.

Terry Waite, President of Emmaus in the UK said today: “We are so pleased to be 
able to welcome The Duchess of Cornwall into the family of Emmaus. Her contribution
will be of tremendous benefit to this charity which is working so creatively with
homeless people.”
