Why run for Shelter?

Shelter believes everyone should have a home. We help people find and keep a home. We campaign for decent housing for all.

Child smiling Join the Shelter team, and you're running for families facing the nightmare of eviction; children whose education and wellbeing is damaged by growing up in bad housing; and young people who are at risk of ending up on the streets.

You're running for a better housing deal for everyone.
