Shelter

Shelter has been a housing and homelessness charity since 1966 in England and 1968 in Scotland. The charity's purpose is to defend the right to a safe home. Home is the foundation on which lives are built. Hundreds of thousands of people in the UK are without a safe, secure and decent home. Through our services and our campaigning, fuelled by our fundraising and enabling work, we want to put an end to the housing emergency. We want to see housing rights strengthened, higher standards, affordable rents and more social homes.
