Give people real change. Leave a gift in your will to Shelter.
We’re in a housing emergency. Millions of lives are being ruined. And we’ll never
properly solve it through small changes.
We need the type of change that will define a new era – one where millions of people can escape the damp and the cold and find a safe place to call home.
You can help make that real change happen with a gift in your will.

We need big change – for families like Angela and Kardinell
Kardinell was just six when he and his Mum, Angela, were evicted from their private rental home. For over a year they were homeless, going from place to place, sleeping on sofas.
Homelessness took a horrendous toll on both of them. Kardinell fell behind at school and Angela spent sleepless nights struggling with the guilt of not being able to keep her son safe.
No family should have to go through that. But sadly, millions do.
But with a gift in your will, you could help give change to people like Kardinell and Angela. You could give us the strength to fight for more social homes, and stricter landlord regulations.
One day, your gift could help us end the housing crisis for good.
It’s time to say enough
We need big change to solve the UK’s housing emergency – and by leaving a gift to us in your will, you can be part of it.
No matter how big or small, leaving a gift in your will can help us give struggling families the support they need, and give us the strength to define a new era. One where everyone can escape homelessness.
Our vision for change
Here's what your gift could help us do...
90,000 social homes a year
In the future, thanks in part to your gift, we could bring about a historic renewal of social housing. And we could make sure that, in the future, everyone has a place to call home.
Force through new rent reform laws
Your gift could help campaign for renters’ rights, and protect people from exploitation and unsafe housing.
Fight for housing rights
Your gift could help our support services stand beside people as they fight for their housing rights, against injustices like unfair eviction.
Create a movement
Your gift could help create a movement that defines a new era – one where everyone has a safe place to live.
A gift in your will could help millions have a place to call home.
