Homelessness charity Emmaus UK is running a series of national adverts this week
highlighting the risk of life-threatening conditions such as hypothermia facing 
homeless people on the streets.

Emmaus was founded in France by Abbé Pierre following the deaths of a homeless woman
and baby in the freezing winter of 1954. His radio appeal to the French public, 
calling upon them to help those who had no home, led to the spread of Emmaus Communities
across France and the world.

Emmaus Communications Manager, Sophie Hiscock, said: “Society may have moved on 
a great deal since Emmaus was founded, but there is still a very real need to provide
not only temporary shelter for those who find themselves homeless, but also the 
opportunity to move on and make lasting changes in their lives.”
