Campaigning
We live in one of the richest countries in the world yet not everyone has a place they can call home.
You can become a campaigner and support our national campaigns below.

Are you with us?
We’re fighting for a Scotland where everyone has a place to feel safe. Where no one chooses between food and rent, and no one sleeps on the streets. We all have the right to a good home and we want to make it the law. Are you with us?
We help over half a million people a year struggling with bad housing or homelessness - and we campaign to prevent it in the first place. You can be part of that change.

Five reasons to be a campaigner
We are in a Housing Crisis
Every 18 minutes a household in Scotland is assessed as homeless
The average house price in Scotland rose by 75% since 2003
The private rented sector has doubled in size in the past 10 years
We believe the housing safety net in the UK is vital
Why we campaign
It is our job to find out where there are housing and homelessness issues across Scotland and to identify solutions. We campaign for change across the whole of Scotland.Our Successes
We have been campaigning for the past 50 years in Scotland to help achieve our vision of a safe, secure, affordable home for everyone. Here are some of our successes.Meet the Policy Advocacy team
We are the Policy Advocacy team, and we're responsible for developing Shelter Scotland's policy positions. We chat to our advisors to hear about the issues around homelessness and bad housing that are being seen in our services, and use these experiences to inform our policy work. We then meet with decision makers, respond to consultations, and produce reports to advocate for the changes we want to see. All this feeds into our campaigns work, on both a local and national level.
For research interviews, requests to speak, or if you're unsure who to contact, please use the team email address below. We will identify the right person and get back to you shortly:
