Shelter

Shelter is a major UK housing and homelessness charity dedicated to helping people struggling with bad housing or homelessness. The organisation provides free advice, legal services, campaigning and support to help people stay in their homes, tackle disrepair, navigate housing law and access safe accommodation. Shelter also undertakes research and policy advocacy to improve housing conditions and influence government action.

Shelter operates across England and Wales, delivering frontline support through helplines, outreach services, casework, housing advice centres and national campaigns. The charity's mission is to ensure everyone has a safe, secure place to call home, and it works at both community and national levels to address housing injustice.

Shelter Charity Shops

Shelter runs charity shops in local communities where donated second-hand clothes, accessories, books and homeware are sold to raise essential funds for its housing support work. Shoppers can find affordable preloved items while supporting Shelter's efforts to tackle homelessness and improve housing conditions. Many stores also welcome volunteers and donations.
