Charity of the Week | Shelter<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who are Shelter?<\/h5>\n

We\u2019ve been campaigning since 1966, and we won\u2019t stop until there\u2019s a safe, secure, affordable home for everyone.<\/p>\n

We were formed in 1966 by Bruce Kenrick (founder chairman) and Des Wilson (founder-director), in response to the country\u2019s massive housing crisis.<\/p>\n

Their vision \u2013 along with co-founders Edwin Barker, David Reid, Rev. Eammon Casey and Lewis Waddilove \u2013 was to establish one organisation to speak for the millions of \u2018hidden homeless\u2019 living in overcrowded slums. This organisation was Shelter.<\/p>\n

What do they do?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
