Can you sponsor a £20 backpack?

We are supporting an initiative by WomenCentre to create emergency back packs for women arriving at refuges in Calderdale and Kirklees.

Pressure on services supporting victims of domestic violence has never been greater and those first few hours and days away from home can be daunting. We are coordinating a local campaign to create backpacks filled with care products and essentials to see them through the first few days.

Each backpack of essentials has a cost price of £20. We’re looking for local businesses to sponsor a backpack. Your support will be acknowledged in a press release and on social media – but most importantly of all they will help the people who receive them!

To sponsor a backpack all you need to do is click on this link and make your donation. Please let us know when you have done so, because we would really like to be able to acknowledge your sponsorship!

We are also looking for any generous corporate sponsors who might like to match the donations made!
