ScS has announces a partnership with housing and homelessness charity Shelter.
ScS is donating £25,000 to support Shelter’s services, including its emergency helpline. This donation comes as the estimated number of people sleeping rough has increased +26% YoY, says the retailer.
Behind the scenes, ScS has been working closely with Shelter’s retail stores. By donating their time and expertise, ScS staff have provided support for new pop-up ventures, as well as Shelter’s Erdington upcycling workshop. ScS has also donated over 100 unwanted products to Shelter for resell.
Andy Harris, director of income generation at Shelter, says: “We are so pleased to announce our partnership with ScS. We share the belief that home is everything, and their support will help us raise funds for our vital services on the frontline of the housing emergency.”
Marie Liston, corporate services director at ScS, adds: “We are delighted to be partnering with Shelter and supporting their efforts to emphasise the importance of home – something that’s close to us at ScS too. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home, and this partnership allows us to help Shelter bring that security to people across the country. Our efforts will not only support the charity with its national work, but also those in the communities close to us, by providing affordable furniture to Shelter stores. We look forward to seeing this partnership flourish.”
