Donate to support families like Georgia's facing eviction and homelessness

£50 could help complete an application for legal aid funding to help fight a family's case against unlawful eviction

Your donation helps families facing eviction access legal advice and support.

With your help, we campaign to help families facing eviction from being pushed into homelessness.

In the past few years, we have seen a record number of families facing homelessness. Right now, over 134,000 households in England are homeless.

People can be evicted for different reasons, such as a result of relationship breakdowns, rising rents and mortgage costs.

We offer expert information and advocacy for people facing housing challenges through:

  • personalised face-to-face advice in our local hubs

  • emergency helpline and webchat services

  • free legal support

'The night before we were evicted, we sat on our empty room floor and cried' - Georgia

After her marriage broke down, Georgia and her eight-year-old son Thomas were evicted and moved into temporary accommodation. They were suddenly placed miles from Thomas’s school in a tiny motel room. They had no home comforts and no idea what would happen next.

Over 134,000 households in England are homeless

When families become homeless, they can end up in damaging temporary accommodation that disrupts children's lives.

The solution

Together, we must keep applying pressure on the government to provide adequate support for families at risk of homelessness, such as ensuring there are enough social homes.

Until everyone has access to a safe and quality home, you can help make sure everyone can access urgent advice whenever they need it by donating.

Your support is needed now more than ever. When we come together, we make change happen.

Your support today could mean another family gets the support they need, when they need it the most

Your donation won't be restricted to a single project but will be used wherever it's needed most to help those fighting for their right to a safe home.

I chose to support Shelter because the rising cost of housing has made stable living conditions increasingly out of reach for many... I want to be a part of the effort to change this and help create a more fair and liveable housing system for everyone. - Anonymous donor
