Our finances

We use the money we raise to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Every penny you donate to us is used carefully and responsibly.

Our funding

Shelter Scotland receives money from several sources, including:

  • people who fundraise for us and donate to us

  • gifts in wills and in memory donations

  • charitable foundations and trusts

  • our nationwide network of shops

  • the government, who contract Shelter Scotland to provide legal advice

  • our training team, who run paid-for courses covering housing and homelessness

To find out more about where our money comes from, read our annual report (pdf, 2.5 MB).
