Shelter Cymru provides independent, specialist advice, advocacy and legal support for anyone with housing problems.
Through research, policy and campaigning activities, Shelter Cymru works to improve housing and homelessness legislation and services.
Its education service aims to prevent homelessness by working with young people and providing detailed teaching and learning resources for schools and youth workers.
The President of Shelter Cymru is Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel and Vice-Presidents include Cerys Matthews and Rebecca Evans.
In May 2012 a report by Shelter Cymru commissioned by the Welsh government found that homeless people in Wales were often treated with a lack of respect.
