About Shelter

A young family outside their home

Shelter is a national charity that works to improve the lives of homeless and badly housed people.

We do this by giving free advice, information and advocacy to people in housing need, and by campaigning for lasting political change to end the housing crisis for good.

Shelter believes that everybody needs a home in a place they can thrive. Our work won’t stop until there is a home for everyone.

About Shelter Scotland

Shelter Scotland

In our affluent nation, tens of thousands of people wake up every day in housing that is run-down, overcrowded, or dangerous. Many others have lost their home altogether. The desperate lack of decent, affordable housing is robbing us of security, health, and a fair chance in life.

Shelter Scotland believes everyone should have a home.

We help thousands of people every year fight for their rights, get back on their feet, and find and keep a home. We also tackle the root causes of bad housing by campaigning for new laws, policies, and solutions.

Our website gets more than 100,000 visits a month; visit shelter.org.uk to join our campaign, find housing advice, or make a donation.

We need your help to continue our work. Please support us.
