shelterShelter help 170,000 people a year fight for their rights, get back on their feet and find and keep a home. Shelter also fight the root causes of bad housing by campaigning for new laws, policies & housing solutions. Every day shelter provide practical help to families & individuals facing homelessness or a housing problem.

Shelter believes everyone should have a home, they help people find and keep a home by campaigning for decent housing. The UK is the 5th richest country in the world and still millions of people in Britain wake up every day in housing that is run down, overcrowded or dangerous and many have lost their home completely.

There was a 200,000 rise in children living in poverty last year throughout the UK and although the government claims there has been good progress made in ending child poverty, charities like shelter have said the current situation is a disgrace. In London alone there are nearly half a million children trying to escape bad housing & being homeles. By donating to shelter there is a real chance for you to help a child out of poverty in the UK.

Shelter can't do it all on their own, they need your help and support if they are going to make their vision a reality. You can help by supporting shelter's work through a one off donation or regular direct debit.
