Emo Community

EMO state they would love to hear what you are doing that you think deserves recognition and support in your local community. This may be a fundraising event or you could be a long term supporter of an important cause. They are open to proposals.

EmoTrust

EMO state they are passionate about their business, and when they do well, they believe they should sow something back into the community. Although they support a wide range of community events and local people, they think its important to commit to something that their customers and staff feel strongly about.

Through the trust programme they commit a little more of themselves, their time and resources to those who they can also trust to really make a difference.
