Shelter Scotland

Get Involved 

Our volunteers in Shelter are brilliant and have a real impact in our fight against bad housing and homelessness.

They are a crucial part of us being able to do the work that we do across our teams including events, fundraising, retail and our services.

Our volunteers have so many diverse skills and experiences that are invaluable to our work. They campaign relentlessly, help us raise money in our shops, support at our events and are great campaigners for our cause.

Shelter encourages people from all backgrounds to get involved and we have a variety of roles available across England, Scotland and Wales.

So, whatever your interest, skills and experience and however much time you have to give, there's a role for you.

Have a look at our roles and apply or register your interest. 

We are looking forward to you joining our team!

“Volunteers are offering knowledge and skills in areas that we do not have. Having different people in the office, generates a better atmosphere.”

“I would never have been able to complete a thorough form on my own. You made a very difficult task as easy as possible for me and also ensured that I did, in fact, complete the task.”

“Shelter definitely prepares you practically for work and enables volunteers to acquire a lot of transferable skills.”

Volunteer   

A huge number of people who are facing all sorts of housing problems feel powerless and uncertain about what can be done, and as a volunteer, I have learned that equipping people with knowledge can be the most powerful act in the world.
