Support for
housing issues

Are you struggling with a housing issue? The Insurance Charity has an established partnership with Shelter UK  that enables us to refer current and former UK insurance employees for in-depth housing advice. Our financial support may also be provided where needed. 

Shelter UK can provide specialist support to people who need help with: 

  • Disrepair, damp and mould 
  • Homelessness 
  • Tenants’ rights and landlord responsibilities 
  • Rights in relation to the eviction process and re-entry to the property 
  • Homelessness prevention including negotiating with lenders and landlords to avoid court proceedings 

Find out how we helped Tara to stay in her home. 

To apply for housing support please visit our help page.
