But some very lucky people will get the luck of the draw from Shelter. Over 170,000 people in the UK are helped each year by their organization. Shelter hosted a design competition for a deck of cards, in which [hundreds of artists and designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powershift-exhibition) participated, including Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. These decks will be sold in limited supply to help support the [Shelter program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allspace-1). In addition to the cards, Shelter also hosts concerts and running events. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Charitable Card Designs:** Opportunity to leverage the creativity of artists and designers to raise funds for charitable programs. - **Limited Supply Sales:** Creating scarcity through limited supply to increase fundraising potential. - **Community Events:** Hosting concerts and running events to engage the community and raise awareness for charitable programs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Exploring collaborations with artists and designers to create unique products for fundraising. - **E-commerce:** Utilizing limited supply sales tactics to drive consumer demand and increase sales revenues. - **Event Management:** Organizing community events to foster engagement and support for charitable initiatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Homelessness-Supporting Blanket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-klein.md) - [Redesigned Father's Day Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-redesign.md) - [Magician-Designed Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystery-playing-cards.md) - [Billboard-Transformed Tent Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesaving-outdoors.md) - [Structure Building Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cards-building-kit.md) - [Living Condition Awareness Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwelcome-home.md) - [Charitable Christmas Decoration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charitable-christmas-decoration.md) - [Charitable Christmas Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crackers-cracking-hunger.md) - [Toronto Healing Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anduhyaun-emergency-shelter.md)
