Your run fuels the fight for home
When you run for Shelter, you're joining us in defending the right to a safe home.
Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year we were able to give information, advice and support to 15,555 households through our emergency helpline and 15,846 through our local hubs.
Together with your help, we can continue to create long-term change and fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fundraise for my event?
We're here to help with any fundraising queries and are more than happy to talk through ideas with you. We recommend starting by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving.
Our top fundraising ideas include bake sales and pub quizzes. You can find all our fundraising resources here, including our paper sponsorship form.
What happens if I can’t reach my fundraising pledge?
We're here to support you with your fundraising as much as possible. Get in touch by emailing running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
Not reaching your sponsorship pledge affects what Shelter can achieve, so please make sure you're confident in reaching this target before signing up to the event.
Raising a minimum fundraising pledge
It's important to raise a minimum fundraising pledge, as we invest in places at charity events. Each place is important to ensure we raise as much as possible to support our vital work.
You can reach your pledge through sponsorship from family, friends and colleagues, plus other forms of fundraising such as bake sales or quizzes.
