Supporting Shelter since 2001
Like Shelter, we believe everyone should have a place they can call home. For more than two decades we’ve been working together to provide much needed support and during this time, our customers and colleagues have:
- donated more than £8 million
- helped more than 145,000 people facing a housing emergency
- supported Shelter’s helplines, for those facing homelessness
- worked together on policy and campaigns that make a difference to people in housing need.
Can you help a family into their own home this Christmas?
This Christmas, 145,000 children in the UK will be homeless. Living in cramped, temporary accommodation, sharing kitchens and bathrooms with total strangers.
Families are often placed in unsuitable temporary accommodation, never knowing when it is time to pack up again and move on.
The rise in the cost of living affects more and more people, with families being made homeless with little or no options.
Donating to Shelter, no matter how big or small, could help a family into their own home this winter.
