The Queen Consort visited the Emmaus Community at Bobby Vincent House on Tuesday, 13 December, to hear about the charity's vital work supporting homeless people.
In a video reel shared on The Royal Family's official social media account, it was explained that Camilla visited the charity in West Norwood, South-East London, to hear about its incredible work. Accompanying the video, text explained: "The Queen Consort today met members of the Emmaus community at Bobby Vincent House, to hear how the charity is supporting the local community in Lambeth."
Highlighting how meaningful Emmaus' work is to Camilla, the post continues: "Her Majesty has a long-standing relationship with Emmaus, which supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social enterprise, funded training and the support needed to get themselves back on their feet again."
As part of her visit, Camilla was seen conversing with a number of volunteers throughout the venue, including in a kitchen and in a charity shop.
As part of her visit, Camilla also had the opportunity to hear how the charity is supporting women, in particular. A press release from The Royal Family explains: "The Queen Consort also had the chance to hear more about Emmaus’s work in the UK to develop women-only provision and was told about how a women-only space is often important for women who have experienced homelessness."
To finish her visit, Her Majesty took a moment to visit the dining area and meet with those supported by the charity over a cup of tea and a mince pie. At one moment, the Queen Consort can be seen with a cup of tea in front of a festive Christmas tree.
The charity's mission statement reads: "Emmaus supports people to work their way out of homelessness, providing meaningful work, training, support and a stable home for as long as someone needs it."
