Fundraising for Shelter Scotland
When you fundraise for Shelter Scotland, you're defending the right to a safe home. With you by our side, we'll continue to provide vital support, advice and advocacy to people affected by the housing emergency.
We recommend setting up a JustGiving page for online fundraising. If you do not already have a fundraising page, our community fundraising team can help you set one up once you've registered for the event.
You can ask people to sponsor you through your fundraising page or use a paper fundraising form.
