Your monthly donation helps keep life-saving aid — including emergency shelter, solar lights, blankets and water filters — pre-positioned in warehouses around the world, ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.
When disaster strikes, Shelter Circle supporters know their generosity is already at work, helping aid reach families faster.
Join Shelter Circle today and help ensure we’re ready whenever and wherever disaster hits.
Why support ShelterBox?
ShelterBox responds to the disasters that you hear in the news, but also all the ones that you don’t.
Your donations each month provide people around the world with items like:
- Shelter kits to repair damaged homes or build locally-appropriate shelters
- Solar lights to keep women and girls safer at night
- Blankets to keep people warm and comfortable
- Water filters to provide safe, clean drinking water
ShelterBox aid is customised to each situation, because every community is different. As a monthly donor, you are ensuring that every month, families are receiving exactly what they need to recover. It is a truly incredible gift.
We won’t stop until we see a world where no family goes without shelter after disaster. Will you help us?

We use your support to choose exactly the right aid for each community after disaster strikes.
In order for us to prepare for future disasters by positioning aid around the world and to react quickly when disasters do take place, we are not usually able to accept time or location-specific donations.
By giving ShelterBox a general donation, you are helping us use your money to make the most difference to families in desperate need of shelter.
Around 71p of every pound raised is used to give families a place to call home after disaster. The remaining 29p is invested to raise future vital funds so we can help more families around the world in desperate need of emergency shelter.
We work this out in the same way as many charities in the UK, using financial results from the last three years to make sure events in any single year don’t have a distorting effect. Find out more about how we spend your money.
ShelterBox is funded by public donations.
We rely on your support to help us hasten the day where no family goes without shelter when disaster strikes.
