Shelter – the UK’s leading housing and homelessness charity – has announced that George is to become an Ambassador.
George has been working with Shelter for several years now and the charity is very close to his heart – but he was delighted and surprised in equal measure at such a fantastic honour.
Speaking about the announcement today George said: “I am thrilled to be an Ambassador for Shelter and I am excited to be a part of the charity’s vital work supporting homeless and badly housed families.
“Being an architect I know how important it is to have a safe and secure home that meets the needs of the household and what a difference having a good home makes to people’s lives.””
Shelter understands the harm that bad housing causes and the burden it puts on families, relationships, health and children’s education.
Shelter believes that everyone has a right to a decent, safe and affordable home and is unrelenting in the fight to make this a reality.
Every year, more than a million people approach Shelter for help by visiting their website, calling their national helpline or contacting their network of local housing advice services.
Shelter also campaigns for more affordable housing and new laws and policies to ease the housing crisis.
