They raised £210 which could help support women in our refuge with essential items, including shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrush and deodorant. It could also buy groceries for a few weeks.

- Go to our approved fundraising website, JustGiving. Search for Staying Put.
- Follow the instructions to set up your page.
- Choose your fundraising target (the higher it is, the more survivors of domestic violence we can help.), page title and team members if you have them.
- Tell people why you are fundraising for Staying Put and how their donation can make a difference to the lives of survivors of domestic violence.
- Once your page is set up, email the link to your friends, family and colleagues, and post the link to your social media accounts.
- Don’t forget to get in touch with us to let us know how you’re supporting us, and send in your fabulous picture – we will share on our social media!
