The talk

Ellie will talk about the current housing emergency in this country, the scale of it and what this looks like for individuals and communities. She will also talk about the government’s current plans for housing and what Shelter is campaigning to see.

About the Speaker 

 Ellie has worked at Shelter since 2020, in fundraising and community engagement. In that time, she has seen how Shelter and the housing emergency has been affected by a pandemic, a cost-of-living crisis and changes in Government. Currently 1 in 3 people are impacted by the housing emergency.  Shelter’s work involves advice and support for those facing homelessness, whilst campaigning on local and national levels to improve the situation.
