26 November 2016 19:30 ~ Seventies Disco Night – It’s Our 40th Birthday! – Staffordshire Women’s Aid – Stafford

Since 1976 Staffordshire Women’s Aid has supported thousands of women and children experiencing or fleeing domestic and sexual violence in Staffordshire.  This year we are proud to be celebrating our 40th Birthday.

It is thanks to the incredibly generous support of local communities, businesses, churches, clubs and charitable trusts that we have been able to provide our much needed service for 40 years.  In particular we would like to say a Big Thank You to all the many individuals who have made donations and to those who have walked, ran, swam, cycled and even jumped out of planes to raise money for Staffordshire Women’s Aid over the years.

It really is fantastic to have such great support from our local community, we can’t do this without you. On behalf of all the staff and volunteers, and the women and children we support, thank you for being part of this.

Seventies Disco Night

To kick off celebrations, we are holding a 70’s disco at Stafford Rangers Football Ground on Saturday 26th November from 7.30pm.

For a night of 70’s themed fun, including disco, live music and buffet please email supporters@staffordshirewomensaid.org or call 01785 782750 for tickets (£15 each).

70’s fancy dress optional.

All proceeds will go towards running ForWard House Refuge in Stafford for women and children fleeing domestic violence.
