#### IKEA ‘Duvet That Does Good’ raises donations for Shelter

IKEA has launched the [‘Duvet That Does Good’](https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/this-is-ikea/community-engagement/ikea-and-shelter-announce-a-duvet-that-does-good-pub138cb900)
which sees £1 from each duvet sold between October 16 and November 20 donated to
charity partner [Shelter](https://www.shelter.org.uk/) and its own national charity
partners Shelter Scotland, Shelter Cymru and Housing Rights. 

To launch the campaign, IKEA is sharing new findings around the things which people
feel make a house a home, whilst raising awareness of the reality of over 17.5 million
people affected by the housing emergency in the UK.  The research found that having
a place that feels safe and secure is what most people (41%) value in their home,
while a quarter (26%) get the most pride from having a place of their own that provides
a sense of belonging – something which cannot be achieved by families affected by
homelessness who, according to Shelter, are often (66% of the time) given less than
48 hours to move between temporary accommodation placements.
