Queen Camilla recently visited the Emmaus Norfolk and Waveney centre, a charity supporting those who have experienced homelessness. This visit highlighted the charity's commitment to providing stable housing and community for individuals in need.
The Queen, who has been Emmaus's patron for two decades, toured the women-only centre. This facility, which opened last year at All Hallows Convent, offers a safe haven for women rebuilding their lives after difficult pasts.
During her visit, Queen Camilla met with residents, referred to as companions, and engaged with Sir Terry Waite, the charity's president. She learned about the comprehensive support systems in place, including programs focused on trauma recovery, designed to help companions thrive.
Emmaus Norfolk and Waveney also recently launched a men's move-on house scheme, building on the success of its women's program. This expansion demonstrates the charity's ongoing efforts to address homelessness across different demographics.
