Our mission is to help our customers create a home where they can thrive. A sanctuary from the stresses of life.
But the UK currently has a housing emergency with a shortage of affordable and social housing. This means that many thousands of people do not have a secure home. We strongly believe that this is something that cannot continue, so we are delighted to support Shelter as our Charity of the Year.
Because ‘home is everything’.
Our pledge:
• A donation for every free chip sample returned to Karndean to be re-used or recycled. The latest total is 13,718 returned samples, raising £6,859.
• Fundraising events at our showrooms including Evesham head office and showroom, Material Source Manchester, Material Source Glasgow, and Clerkenwell, London.
• A donation for every employee who supports Shelter and Shelter Scotland with their paid volunteering day.
• Donate excess flooring to four Shelter and Shelter Scotland retail stores for either reuse or resale.
Why get involved?
Recent figures from Shelter show that every 3 minutes, a household in England becomes homeless, while in Scotland, every 15 minutes. One in every 72 children in England are homeless, and 43 children become homeless every day in Scotland. Shelter and Shelter Scotland exist to defend the right to a safe home and fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society.
