Summer is a time for creating precious memories together: BBQs, catching up with friends, playing in the garden, sandy toes.

But for over 140,000 children and their families experiencing homelessness across England, their summer will look very different. Faced with uncertainty, anxiety, and instability with no safe place to call home.

This is an unacceptable reality for these families.

Come together this summer and donate to Shelter

Your collective support is powerful and could make a huge impact. Your donation could mean that more families can have the security, stability and hope that is found in having a place to call home.

Together your donations this summer could make a big difference

Your donation could help:

a child living in temporary accommodation find a safe place to call home
equip a family with the knowledge they need to secure a safe place to call home
advocate for access to secure and permanent homes for everyone

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.

The collective impact of many donations could provide support to families facing the impact of the housing emergency and help them move towards finding a secure and safe place to call home.

Join Shelter this summer. Donate today.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home, because home is everything. The fight to end the housing emergency starts here.
