Fundraising
Fundraising and donations for SafeNet can be great fun and very rewarding. It can also be really empowering for survivors and those with friends and family affected by domestic abuse. The funds you raise will help us to continue providing life-saving and life-changing services to women and children escaping domestic abuse and other forms of gender-based violence.
However you choose to fundraise for us – from hosting a coffee morning, cake sale, pub quiz, to a raffle at your workplace, sponsored runs or walks, charity football matches or corporate events to bike rides– you will receive support and encouragement from our fundraising team to make your event a huge success.
Get in touch to tell us about your fundraising event fundraising@safenet.org.uk.
An online JustGiving donation/fundraising page can easily be set up using our dedicated SafeNet JustGiving page. Set one up today for your next event!

We are running this wish list for domestic abuse survivors across the North West.
Families escaping domestic abuse often arrive at our refuges with only the things they can carry. With your help, we are able to give them items and necessities to start their lives again.
A gift from you will help families start the journey to recovering from trauma and finding joy again.
Involve Your Company
Our corporate supporters help us change lives and make sure that victims and survivors, and their families, are made safe and given the right support to rebuild their lives.
Domestic abuse affects two million people a year and it’s estimated that it costs British businesses over £1.9 billion. It will be affecting the people your organisation cares about most – your staff, clients and customers.
Every partnership is different. Our fundraising team work closely with companies to build long term, tailored relationships.

- Team building: fundraising is fun and boosts team spirit! Bring your team together to make a difference and meet your corporate social responsbility targets.
- Make a difference: over two million people in the UK experience domestic abuse every year. You can change lives and help us make sure that nobody has to deal with domestic abuse alone.
