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

We’re in a housing emergency. Thousands of lives are being ruined. We need change. Real change.

We need the kind of change that will define a new era – one where thousands of people can find a safe place to call home.

You can help make real change happen – with a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland.

Why leave a gift in your will 

By including a gift in your will to Shelter Scotland, you can give families like Sarah’s real change.

After Sarah’s mother passed away, her family were evicted from the home they shared. For 3 years, they found themselves in unfit temporary accommodation, often in a state of disrepair and rife with damp and mould.

When Sarah got in touch with us, she was able to access advice which helped her exercise her rights and find a safe, secure social home.

No family should have to live through that. But 15,039 households are living in temporary accommodation in Scotland. The highest number on record.

We need change. Real change. A gift in your will could help make it happen.

What your gift could do

Thousands more social homes

In the future, thanks in part to your gift, we could help bring about a historic renewal of social housing. And we can take steps to end the housing emergency in Scotland – for good.

Support those in need

Your gift could help us answer when people call for help with issues from debt management to fighting unfair evictions.

Create a movement

Through your gift you’ll join a movement that defines a new era – one where everyone has a safe place to call home.

I decided to leave a gift to Shelter Scotland in my will, because I want to give people real change. If you’re sick of seeing the housing emergency only get worse, will you join me?
