Who are Staying Put?

We are a domestic abuse and sexual violence charity working across the Bradford area. We support women, men and children who are survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.

 

Leave the abuse, not your home

We know that people experiencing domestic abuse heal quicker from the trauma if they can continue living in their own home with their support networks around them. Our service works to keep victims in their homes- hence our name Staying Put.

Note: Check out our accessibility page to get this website in a different language.

Why Staying Put?

We support ALL survivors — including men and LGBT+ people — and tackle the root causes of abuse, not just the crisis.

 

We listen. We believe. We act

Introducing Ayesha, our Marathon runner

Training I’ve always loved movement, but running wasn’t really my focus until this year. Over the summer, I completed Couch to 5K, which left me with some random tan lines (the perks of summer training!). That set the tone for my current plan: three runs a week...
