Jacob came to Emmaus Bolton for support after a redundancy led to sofa surfing and ultimately, rough sleeping.

With a stable and supportive home at Emmaus Bolton and the support of the charity community, Jacob developed skills, companionships and work experience in Emmaus Bolton's different social enterprises.

Jacob also took up running, and completed the Bolton IRONMAN in aid of Emmaus Bolton last year. This year Jacob is calling on your support once again to raise money for the charity that is supporting him and 21 other people with experience of homelessness to get back on their feet.

All money raised will help Emmaus Bolton provide a home, support and the opportunity to progress.
