No family should face homelessness alone

Over 10,000 children in Scotland will wake up this Christmas trapped in temporary homeless accommodation.

Donate today and help us be there for families when it matters the most.

What we do

At Shelter Scotland, we tackle housing injustice by:

  • providing information about housing rights

  • challenging unfair housing practices

  • campaigning for more social housing and better housing policies

Support us

Campaign with us

10,715 children in Scotland have no permanent place to call home.

They spend on average 406 days in temporary accommodation before getting a permanent home - more than an entire year of their childhood lost to homelessness.

Together, we can send a clear message to politicians: build more social homes.

Help fund the fight for housing justice

You're not just donating, you're making the system fairer.
