5 Ways To Support Leeway for Our 50th Anniversary

16 April 2024

5 ways to support leeway

This year is a very special year for Leeway as we are celebrating our 50th anniversary! We want to make sure that this landmark year is a successful one by raising vital funds to enhance and sustain the services that we provide, as well as raising awareness of domestic abuse across our local communities.

We wanted to share some ways in which you can help support us in our 50th anniversary year!

Upcoming Events

We have a lot of exciting events planned throughout the year, including the return of our popular Skydive event!

Not only are our events fun, but they also help us to raise vital funds that support the work that we do in Norfolk and Suffolk.

The best places to keep up-to-date with our latest events are our website and social media channels!

Hold Your Own Event

We also have supporters that hold their own fundraising events to raise money for Leeway! Whether you hold a bake sale in your office, a bingo night in your local community, or take on a sporting challenge like a sponsored walk or running event, it all helps raise vital funds that support our work.

Our events page has more information on how you can set up your own event and how your support can help us.

Donate to Leeway

There are many ways in which you can donate to Leeway, either financially or by donating items that can be used by our service users. We have an Amazon Wishlist containing items for our service users in refuge, as well as eBay and Vinted accounts selling high-quality donations that we receive.

We are also signed up to a couple of schemes where you can raise money for us as you shop, at no extra cost to you!

Our Donations page has full information on the many ways in which you can support Leeway – it really makes a massive difference!

Social Media

Sharing our posts on social media helps us to reach more people that may need our support or may want to support the work that we do.

We often post details of how our services can be accessed and sharing information like this can be what prompts someone that needs our help to contact us.

You may have also seen our new #50YearsOfLeeway feature, which shares fun facts about our journey over the past 50 years, as well as key milestones from the movement to tackle violence against women and girls. Any shares help to raise awareness of who we are and the support we provide!

We have lots of plans for our social media accounts over the course of the year, including features raising awareness of the various forms of domestic abuse.

Your support helps us to raise awareness of domestic abuse and highlight the work that we do.

Follow us on Facebook and X.

Business Support

We have been lucky enough to have support from several local businesses in recent years, helping us to raise vital funds to support our work.

Whether you hold fundraisers in your office, sponsor an event, donate some of your time to volunteer with us, or make us your Charity of the Year, there are plenty of ways to support us.

We would love to get involved with more local businesses and organisations, to raise awareness of the work that we do and raise vital funds.
