Unfortunately the housing market as we once knew it is gone. But some very lucky people will get the luck of the draw from Shelter. Over 170,000 people in the UK are helped each year by their organization.
Shelter hosted a design competition for a deck of cards, in which hundreds of artists and designers participated, including Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. These decks will be sold in limited supply to help support the Shelter program.
In addition to the cards, Shelter also hosts concerts and running events.
