Shelter is registered as a housing charity. However, it provides neither housing nor shelter, despite receiving more than £60 million a year in funding and donations. We think their advertising is misleading, their policies are self-serving and we have clear evidence of their executives telling sensationalist headline grabbing lies to National Media and on National TV on many occasions.
Our ever expanding library of evidence of the above exposes and critiques how Shelter actually raise and spend their annual budget of £60 million. This evidence is presented in the link articles below.
If you are as disgusted by Shelter as we are, please share this category page far and wide.
