EnglandContinued support enables us to defend the rights of people facing homelessness, demand long-term solutions and hold those in power to account. Together we can fight for an end to housing injustice. Donate again today.
Our staff and clients know how much impact supporters like you could make.
Every day, expert advisers in our hubs advocate for people at the sharp end of the housing emergency.
Chris, who made the journey out of homelessness with support from our Sheffield hub, explains:
'All my caseworkers have really catered to me as an individual. They have all the background. We come together to work through the problems.'
Thanks to supporters like you, our emergency helpline advised over 15,000 callers last year – people facing eviction or escaping domestic abuse.
Lizzie, a helpline adviser, shares how being part of Shelter's mission makes her feel:
'The most difficult aspect of this role for me is listening to people's heart-breaking stories. In some cases, people are facing multiple hardships. I'm very proud to be working for Shelter, knowing that I'm empowering people and helping them through their situation.'
From the corridors of Westminster to local grassroots activism, your generosity fuels campaigns for long-term solutions.
Musurut, a Senior Community Organiser, highlights the impact of community-led movements like the Birmingham Fair Housing Campaign:
'There are far too many people in our city affected by the housing emergency, but by working collaboratively, real change is possible.'
Thank you for bringing us closer to ending the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home, because home is everything. The fight to end the housing emergency starts here.
