Hampshire’s unique, long-term solution to homelessness is inviting people behind the scenes of its Bar End community throughout Winchester Green Week.

On a tour of Emmaus Hampshire facilities, visitors will: see the launch of the Emmaus Carbon Calculator which quantifies the CO2e savings on 80 different product categories; visit the Repair Shop – where Companions reuse, restore and upcycle furniture and homewares; visit its small Recycling Centre – where the community strips steel, aluminium, and copper from products it cannot sell and makes cash from metal dealers; view and buy pre-loved fashion and upcycled furniture; and meet staff and trustees to find out more about volunteering in the community.

The official launch of the Carbon Calculator takes place at 10am on Thursday 26 September. That day, trustees will be on hand to speak to visitors about volunteering and the charity will offer free tea and cake in its Green Roof Café.
