Shelter Did you know? There's also a Shelter group you can join here:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2560745894

We are the fourth richest country in the world, and yet millions of people in Britain wake up every day in housing that is run-down, overcrowded, or dangerous. Many others have lost their home altogether. Bad housing robs us of security, health, and a fair chance in life. Shelter helps more than 170,000 people a year ...fight for their rights, get back on their feet, and find and keep a home. We also tackle the root causes of bad housing by campaigning for new laws, policies, and solutions. Our website gets more than 100,000 visits a month; visit www.shelter.org.uk to join our campaign, find housing advice, or make a donation. We need your help to continue our work. Please support us.Read More

Katey Jo Pilling i would like to say a huge thank you to Shelter. A few years ago my little girl and i found ourselves homeless and didn't know how we were going to cope and what to do but a fantastic woman from Shelter in Wales helped us with legal advice and support.
Without the support from Shelter we wouldn't have been settled in our home for the past 3 years so THANK YOU SHELTER!

In May this year we came back home to our bungalow on fire. It completely messed up our kitchen, living room, and also caused some damage to our bedroom and hallway.
Now in October still nothing has been done....we have no electricity in the kitchen or living room and with so much damage we cannot use them rooms.
We cann...ot cook, washing our clothes or anything. We live in our bedroom ...eat and sleep there. We are depressed and because we are disabled living in these conditions makes life even worse. We did try a hotel but we couldnt manage as my husband has to hoisted everywhere and thre wasnt much room plus we had to kep comingback to the bungalow for my husband to have a bath as the bathroom wasnt big enough at the hotel. How can people get away with treating us like this?Read More

Hi,...I live in Reading with my husband and my daughter.My husband and I are disabled...my husband is in a wheelchair thanks to Friedreich's Ataxia. We have a bungalow provided by Catalyst. Earlier this year they decided to change the rules about certain jobs saying the tenant has to do them...but this is inpossible fo...r disabled people as we have to call people out and it costs a fortune...also we live on flood plains which causes a nightmare for our social workers....Read More
