Your location: Raise money at school
No child in Britain should be without a home. But more than one million children are living in bad housing: you may know children at your school in this situation.
Shelter is working hard to make sure that everyone has a home where they can feel safe. And to help schools teach children about the problems of bad housing and homelessness we have produced a free classroom kit, packed with learning and fundraising resources.
What is Shelter's classroom kit?
The kit contains:
- four original lesson plans tailored to the National Curriculum, each with teachers' guidelines, learning objectives, and supporting materials
- a fundraising handbook
- a poster and set of stickers
- teachers' notes on Shelter's work.
Two versions of the kit are available:
- The primary kit for under-11s encourages younger children to consider what a 'shelter' is and how it becomes a home.
- The secondary kit for over-11s will help older pupils develop an understanding of how and why people find themselves in housing crises.
