Shelter Cymru is Wales’s people and homes charity. We believe that a decent secure home is a fundamental right and essential to the health and well-being of people and communities.

We provide independent specialist advice, advocacy and legal representation for anyone with housing problems. Last year, our advisers helped nearly 17,000 people from all over Wales, helping to prevent homelessness in 90 per cent of cases where it was threatened.

Through our campaigning, research and policy work we influence the legislative agenda relating to housing and homelessness in Wales, while our education service aims to prevent homelessness by working with young people and providing detailed teaching and learning resources.
