Your run fuels the fight for home
Defend the right to a safe home for everyone when you run and fundraise for Shelter.
Our experts offer advice, advocacy and free legal aid to people at the sharp end of the housing emergency. From families crammed into hotel rooms to renters facing no-fault evictions.
We also put pressure on the government, campaigning for long-term solutions that will tackle the root causes of homelessness – including better renters' rights and a new generation of social homes.
Every pound you raise helps to create housing justice.
Fundraising for Shelter
We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.
Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.
Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
