Remember Shelter Scotland in your will
Why leave a gift to Shelter Scotland?
Shelter Scotland strive to give everyone the right to live in a decent, safe and affordable home.
Though we have achieved much, there is a lot more to do. By leaving a gift to Shelter Scotland in your Will you can help us to build a better future for people who desperately need a home.
How your gift will help
'I have been fortunate and I want to pass on some of my good luck to people who aren’t so fortunate. So I thought I would give you an assurance that even when I'm no longer here, my support for the cause I really care about will still be hard at work'.
Shelter Scotland supporter
With your support we can:
- ensure that Shelter Scotland continues to provide vital help to everyone who needs it through our network of housing aid centres and our free national housing advice helpline
- continue to run housing support projects to help families, children and older people
- help strengthen the rights of homeless and badly housed people
- ensure that Shelter Scotland continues to campaign for laws and policies to find new and better solutions to homelessness.
Leaving a legacy will cost you nothing today. But it will make a difference to the lives of future generations.
