Sponsor’s Story
Makin Dixon
Yorkshire solicitors Makin Dixon have been an incredible support to Staying Put. They have had teams of people running the Leeds 10k for us, became our first ever running shirt sponsor, supported our Autumn Ball and this year, too part in the Dragon Boat race. To date, Makin Dixon have raised over £8,000 which will be used to support our service users in many ways. ‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem sufficient for their amazing and continuing support.

Sponsor’s Story
Pink Ginger Florist
Pink Ginger in Bradford contacted us to ask if they could hold a coffee morning for us. 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. When women come to our refuges, they come with nothing.
Sponsor’s Story
Virgin Media
Virgin Media are a brilliant example of how to provide support to us and our clients, in ways other than giving monetary donations. In November2021, and again in March 2025, we were gifted 250 SIM cards, all with 20GB data plus unlimited calls and texts for six months. These are incredibly useful for people experiencing abuse who are compelled to leave their home. In addition, teams of Virgin Media staff have twice volunteered their time to help us decorate rooms in our refuges. Superstars one and all!
