Shelter Cymru

Who we are

Since 1981, Shelter Cymru has helped more than half a million people fight for their rights, get back on their feet and find and keep a home. We also tackle the root causes of homelessness by campaigning for new laws, policies and solutions. Shelter Cymru is an independent Welsh charity (not part of Shelter England or Scotland) founded on the belief that everyone in Wales has the right to a decent, secure home.

Last year, Shelter Cymru helped more than 10,000 households who were struggling with unsafe housing or homelessness through free, independent, expert housing and legal advice on the phone, online and face-to-face.

At Shelter Cymru, we face very real challenges. We need to raise more money if we are to help more people and we need to recruit and retain high quality staff in a tight employment market. We also want more people to support us through campaigning, volunteering and donating. But, ultimately, we want an end to homelessness, and to put ourselves out of business, by realising a Wales where everyone has a suitable home they can afford.

If you share our values and ambition to Fight for Home; have relevant skills and experience; and can demonstrate the passion and persistence to secure social change, We’d welcome your application.
