About Shelter

Shelter is a charity that helps people with the difficulties associated with homelessness and bad housing. Covering England and Scotland, they have helped hundreds of people since it was first formed back in 1966. Although Shelter are not able to provide homeless people with houses, they are there to offer help and advice. Advice from Shelter is available in several different formats. If you have access to a computer, advice is available online from shelter.org.uk. If you prefer to use the telephone and speak to someone there is a free telephone number that is manned for twelve hours a day, seven days a week and there are several housing advice centres spread around the country offering advice about all housing issues. Shelter also recognises that resolving one problem often leads to other problems. They are therefore able to offer advice on topics such as disability rights, debt management issues and welfare benefits. Primarily, Shelter is a charity and as such relies on charitable donations from businesses, industry and private individuals. There are several ways that you can help to support Shelter. You can support their campaign for more affordable housing, you can participate in activities such as The Great North Run or you can simply donate on line or by setting up a monthly direct debit. Another way of helping out is to get your childrens' school on side. Shelter have fundraising packs available for teachers that help children to learn about all sorts of issues, including homelessness. Shelter also welcome volunteers to join the cause. They can help in a number of ways. To find out more, visit shelter.org.uk.
