At Winder Power, we believe in the power of community. As a Leeds-based business, we take pride in supporting causes that matter – not just to us as a company, but to the wider community we serve. That’s why, for the 2025/26 financial year, we’re proud to partner with Emmaus Leeds as our chosen charity.
Emmaus is a national charity with strong local presences, dedicated to helping people affected by homelessness by providing them with not just shelter, but meaningful work, skills, and a community. Their work is transformative, offering individuals the chance to rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose. We recognise that homelessness is a growing challenge, and by supporting Emmaus, we want to play our part in driving change.
Why Emmaus Leeds?
Unlike traditional homelessness charities, Emmaus offers a long-term solution. They provide individuals, known as ‘companions,’ with a stable home for as long as they need it, alongside employment opportunities in social enterprises. This model empowers people to regain control over their lives and build a sustainable future.
As a business that thrives on teamwork, resilience, and innovation, we see strong parallels between what we do at Winder Power and what Emmaus achieves every day. Their values of hard work, community spirit, and self-sufficiency resonate deeply with us, making them a perfect charity partner for the year ahead.
What’s Our Goal?
This year, we’re setting out to achieve three key objectives:
Raise Funds: Through team challenges, fundraising events, and company-wide initiatives, we aim to raise as much money as possible to support Emmaus Leeds in their vital work.
Spread Awareness: Homelessness isn’t just a statistic – it’s a reality faced by thousands. By sharing stories, insights, and updates, we want to shine a light on the issue and encourage others to get involved.
Have Fun Along the Way: Giving back doesn’t have to be all serious. We’ve planned an exciting calendar of events that will bring us together as a team while making a real difference.
How Can You Help?
This initiative isn’t just for our employees – our customers, partners, and local community can all get involved. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or simply sharing our campaign, every contribution helps. Keep an eye on our website and social media for ways to support us on this journey.
We’re committed to making a real impact where it matters most. By working together, we can help Emmaus Leeds continue their incredible work and take meaningful steps toward ending homelessness.
