Brand history
  • Founded in 1966 during the “Swinging Sixties” are the stuff of legend, three million people were living in slums. Shelter was born out of the belief that this appalling injustice must be put right.
  • Fifty years on, the country is in the grip of another housing crisis. A huge range of people are affected by our current housing shortage, from a generation of young people who can’t afford a home to those struggling with sub-standard housing.
  • As we enter our 50th year, 100,000 children are homeless. So, while we will reflect on our achievements, we will only celebrate when everyone has a place to call home.
  • Shelter commissioned Photographers such as Nich Hedges to document the poor housing conditions within the UK
  • Advertisements throughout the 1960’s to the 1990’s were crafted in the documentary tradition of black and white and often focussed on the suffering of children to gan pubic sympathy/empathy
