Mon-Sun: 8.00am-12.00 midnight
Shelter Scotland was set up in 1968 to campaign for the rights of homeless people and to provide services to people who became homeless or who lived in bad housing.
- To ensure that everyone has a home where they can feel safe
- To campaign for more progressive laws and policies to help badly housed and homeless people
- To provide practical support and innovative solutions for anyone who is homeless or who has a housing problem
- To bring about long term changes that reduce and prevent homelessness and housing problems
Shelter covers the whole range of housing legislation and problems, from homelessness to mobile home rights, from private tenant rights to mortgage and rent difficulties - the range is extensive.
Shelter's Aberdeen Housing Aid Centre no longer has a public service and members of the public who have a housing problem should contact the local Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) for free and confidential advice. Shelter provides expert assistance to help CAB staff deal with housing issues. In very complex cases, people will be referred to Shelter for further assistance.
Alternatively, members of the public can contact the Shelter Helpline.
Financed mainly through donations and fundraising.
