Shelter is a charity registered in England and Scotland that campaigns to end homelessness and bad housing. It has offices in England and Scotland, and works in partnership with Shelter Cymru and the Housing Rights Service in Northern Ireland. It was originally launched on 1 December 1966.

Shelter helps people in housing need by providing advice and practical assistance, and fights for better investment in housing and for laws and policies to improve the lives of homeless and badly housed people.

Approximately 2/3 of Shelter's expenditure goes on housing aid and 1/3 on campaigns and education.

People experiencing homelessness or other housing problems can get practical information and advice from Shelter's website.
