Shelter: Initial Research

Shelter

On 1st December 1966, Shelter was founded, they are a charity who campaigns to stop homelessness and bad housing. They are located in London, England and they currently help those who are located in England and Scotland. Their main aim is that one day, no-one will turn to them for help, which means they hope that one day nobody will be on the streets or living in dangerous conditions.
The four main services they provide are face-to-face, national helpline, online advice and legal support. Last year, Shelter got £60.9m of income, however, they spent £62.9m on helping those in need, this show how much they want to help those in need and will do anything they can to improve peoples living quality/standard of life. They also have a partnership with Shelter Cymru in Wales and The Housing Rights Service in Northern Ireland, by working with these, it can help them cover more areas around the country and hopefully will be able to continue helping until no one is left on the streets. Most of their income comes from donations, this is why advertisements and the public support is so important to Shelter. They have many shops around the UK, this is another way they make money, but most importantly a lot more needs to be done and more help is wanted to stop homelessness.Image result for shelter charity advert
