Sometimes talking on the phone or sending an email isn't enough - you need a bit of support in person. This is where community support projects come in. This page looks at how you can find a project near you.

Shelter's support projects

Shelter has various support projects around Scotland that can help you if you're having problems with your housing, or are homeless or living in temporary accommodation. Our Housing Support Projects, in Glasgow, Dumfries and North Lanarkshire offer practical help and support for families moving from temporary to permanent accommodation. In Dumfries we also offer support to single homeless people.

Other projects in your areas

There are lots of projects in Scotland offering help and support to people in all kinds of different situations. There are projects that can help you with day-to-day things such as getting about, filling in forms or childcare, or projects that can offer support during particular events in your life, such as having a baby, settling into a new permanent home or falling ill. Local projects are often advertised in doctors' surgeries, community centres, church halls and other community areas. You can also search for projects near you at the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) website.
