About #HealthNow
Shelter, along with Crisis and Groundswell as lead partner, were successful in securing a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver #HealthNow across the UK, working towards an inclusive health system where everyone has access to the health care they need and ultimately moving people out of homelessness.

About you
