Housing Rights Defenders
Get organised in your local community and play a vital role in fighting for a Scotland where everyone has a safe place to call home.
Here at Shelter Scotland we recognise that we cannot end the housing emergency alone, we also need local people to have a voice and the power to create change.
Become part of a new network of Housing Rights Defenders! You will be supported to take action in your local community, tackle the housing issues that matter most to you and fight for a Scotland where everyone has a safe place to call home.
We help you campaign your way. Your Local Community Organiser is here to provide the support you need to create change in your community.

Campaigning is about getting change and making your community, your country or the world a better place. Most importantly, campaigning is a way to tackle issues that matter to you.
We want local communities around Scotland to play a vital role in campaigning to see a Scotland where everyone has a safe, affordable home.
We are working in Edinburgh and Glasgow to build up a community of housing rights defenders and want to support you to take local action in a way that is meaningful to you.
