Shelter Cymru wants everyone in Wales to have a decent home.
We believe a home is a fundamental right and essential to the health and well-being of people and communities.

Shelter Cymru is Wales’ people and homes charity. We work for people in housing need. We have offices all over Wales and prevent people from losing their homes by offering free, confidential and independent advice. When necessary we constructively challenge on behalf of people to ensure they are properly assisted and to improve practice and learning.

We work with people who use our services as equals. We provide information, advice and support to help people identify the best options to find and keep a home and to help them take control of their own lives.

We also work to prevent homelessness through a range of training courses and conferences and seminars. Another key element in our prevention agenda is education - working closely with schools and local authorities to prevent homelessness in Wales by providing young people with a better understanding of how homelessness can affect them, and how to avoid it.

We provide housing advice at community-based locations across Wales. Visit our Advice and Support page for information on the locations and times of housing advice sessions in your area or to email us with a housing problem/enquiry. If you have an urgent a housing problem you can contact our Advice & Support Services on 0845 075 5005.
