Shelter teams up with architects to raise money

HOUSEHOLDERS across Edinburgh have the opportunity to transform their homes while also raising money for charity.

Homeless organisation Shelter has teamed up with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) to give expert advice on home improvements.

Architect in the House sees architects give up their time for free, offering one-hour consultations to the public, in return for a £40 suggested donation to Shelter.

The initiative is now in its 13th year and members of the public can register until 1 July.
