Saga is proud to support Architect in the House, an annual fundraising initiative run jointly by the housing and homelessness charity Shelter and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The scheme gives homeowners an hour-long consultation with an RIBA chartered architect and in exchange the homeowner can make a suggested donation of £40 or more to Shelter. The architect will come to your home (or wherever the project will take place) and offer expert advice on how you could make the most of it. There are no strings attached – the architects are generously giving up their time for Shelter.
