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
"The day I rang for help [was] the day I realised it was time for me to leave...The day I was accepted [to refuge] I had my full life in four bin bags and some toys I managed to grab." Kayleigh.
