Leave a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland – and give people change

Why leave a gift in your will
By including a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland, you can give people like Grace real change.
After being made redundant, Grace was evicted without warning and was homeless for two years.
She spent months in a homeless hostel – where her daughter B was not able to join her – before being moved to temporary accommodation. Grace was using a wheelchair, but she was given a flat up three flights of stairs.
Grace contacted a range of local services for help, without any success. But when she got in touch with Shelter Scotland, she finally felt heard.
After years of sleepless nights, Grace has now found a permanent home she loves. She can begin a new future with her daughter.
By leaving a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland, you can be sure that we’ll be there for years to come – standing shoulder to shoulder with people as they fight for their housing rights.
And we won’t give up. Not until everyone has a safe and secure place to call home. And future generations don’t ever have to worry about becoming homeless.
Together, we can make real change happen.
