Meet our latest election heroes – Grans!

Our straight-talking Grans know best about everything – including housing. So, ahead of the election, we're asking people nationwide to get involved in our Gran plan to build a better Scotland.

Unleash your inner Gran

Campaigning during an election is all about getting maximum attention. To do just that, we're unleashing our Gran Squad!

Everyone listens to their Gran. Grans have no time for nonsense. And with 2.3 million people struggling in Scotland's housing emergency, we've put our very own Shelter Scotland Gran on an unmissable 3D billboard in Glasgow to make sure politicians know nothing matters more than warm, safe homes.

We know and Grans know that social homes change lives. They bring down rents, help people to live healthier lives and transform wellbeing. So we've had enough of promises. This election, we need real investment in social homes.

What Grans are saying

'We know Scotland can do better. In the past, we rolled up our sleeves and built whole communities. Proper homes give families strength, children stability, and Scotland pride. If we did it then, we can do it again. We Grans are speaking up because tough love is what’s needed. And now we need you…'
