Emmaus creates home for ten vulnerable people Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney can now offer a home to more vulnerable people thanks to the creation of ten new bedrooms at its community in Ditchingham, South Norfolk. The build of ten new bedrooms includes a female-friendly area with private toilet facilities, designed to help women who are homeless or insecurely housed in Norfolk. Many women facing homelessness have experienced physical or sexual abuse so female only facilities are an essential resource. Beccles kitchen company, Creative Interiors by Design, donated two kitchens for the new accommodation area. One of the kitchens has been fitted in a communal area while the second has gone into a staff area for the live-in support workers to use.
