Shelter | UK

Over one million children in Britain live in bad housing. Bad housing blights their lives, and those of their families.

  • One in 12 British children suffers higher risks of bronchitis, TB or asthma thanks to bad housing
  • Homeless children miss out on up to a quarter of their schooling
  • 11 per cent of childhood accidents result from badly designed housing and dangerous fittings


Every year Shelter helps around 100,000 people by:

  • Fighting for their rights
  • Getting them back on their feet
  • Helping them find and keep a home

Now you can make a real difference by helping us end the scandal of children in bad housing in Britain.
