Shelter, Bob the Builder and HIT Entertainment have been working in partnership since the beginning of 2010.

Together, we aim to raise awareness of the problems faced by homeless and badly housed children and families throughout the UK, and to generate support for positive change to end the housing crisis for good.

Shelter and HIT Entertainment will harness the power of Bob’s creative, can-do spirit to show how Shelter’s expert advice and support can make life better for families in housing need.

Bob The Builder Live Tour

Shelter’s successful partnership with Bob the Builder continues with the launch of a new fundraising project. Every ticket sold for the Bob the Builder Live Tour shows between July 2011 and June 2012 will include a donation to Shelter of 1% of net ticket sales. All money raised will go directly towards our work for homeless and badly-housed people in the UK. To find out if Bob and his friends are visiting your town and to book tickets, visit the Bob the Builder Live Tour website.

Bob's Big Project

In Autumn 2011, nurseries across England are raising money for Shelter by holding their own special day of Bob-related fun. They'll all be entered into a prize draw to win a visit from Bob the Builder himself! Find out more about Bob's Big Project
