Why leave a gift in your will
By leaving a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland, you can give people like Mary real change.
Mary and her young daughter were homeless for five years. At one stage, they had to share a bed in mouldy housing – all while living with the constant fear that they’d be moved again.
Then Mary contacted Shelter Scotland to better understand her housing rights – and eventually, she managed to secure the safe, permanent social home that she and her daughter live in today.
But right now, too many families in Scotland are still experiencing the fear and uncertainty of homelessness. We need real change – the kind we can all believe in.
With a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland, you can help us push for the social housing that families like Mary’s need.
It’s possible. But to make it happen, we need people like you who believe in it, too.
Real change takes courage. Help make it happen with a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland.
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.
