A charity which helps support homeless people across the Towns is marking its 25th anniversary.

Emmaus Medway will be holding a day of “bargains galore” at its shop in Rochester High Street on Saturday.

The Medway branch is one of 28 across the country which provides homes and work for people who have experienced homelessness, supporting 23 people across the Towns.

Martin Sissons, director of Emmaus Medway, said: “We offer something different in the form of meaningful daily activity and the chance to make a difference to the local community.

"The proceeds from this day will help us support the movement throughout the world so please do stop by and pick up a bargain.”

Emmaus UK’s president Terry Waite said: “The way in which the UK movement has grown and been supported over the past 25 years is incredibly humbling.

"As homelessness continues to rise, each local community has helped to tackle this problem, providing those in need with not just a bed for the night but opportunities to work, contribute to society and change their lives on their own terms.

“I’m proud of all we have achieved upon this landmark anniversary and encourage you all to attend our celebration events across the country on Saturday, June 25.”
