Charity Spotlight: Shelter Scotland’s Christmas gifts and essentials

The Scottish Housing News Charity Spotlight feature will highlight the vital work of charities across Scotland each Friday. To include your local charity, whether housing-related or not, send your story and images to us at newsdesk@scottishnews.com.

For thousands of people around the country, this will be a difficult winter. Rising rents and skyrocketing bills are forcing families to make impossible decisions between paying their rent, heating their homes and putting food on the table.

Shelter’s work to fight the housing emergency and provide practical help and advice to people struggling with homelessness and unsuitable housing, is more critical than ever. By purchasing one of Shelter’s Christmas products, you are helping us to continue to be there for people who don’t have a safe place to call home.

Products include Christmas cards; chocolate; crackers; gift wrap; charity gift card.
