31/10/2026

🎃 Thank you to Wake Smith Solicitors and everyone who donated so that our little ghouls and goblins could have some wonderful costumes for trick or treating 🎃

LAST MINUTE APPEAL! 🎃

We need your help to make sure our little trick or treaters in refuge don’t miss out on the Halloween fun this year.

If you have any new or gently used costumes to donate, please get in touch with us via email as soon as possible!

Every child deserves a magical Halloween. ✨

We were delighted to meet with Dame Nicole Jacobs, Domestic Abuse Commissioner, and sector colleagues recently! ✨

It was wonderful to share how we work alongside sector partners and discuss the vital importance of specialist services and hear how our mission aligns with the DAC strategy.

A big thank you to Sarah Hill from IDAS for organising.

Huge thank you to the amazing B&Q Life volunteers! ✨

This week they added a beautiful splash of colour to our refuge, making the space feel incredibly welcoming and also masterfully covering up some “freestyle wall art” from some of our creative kiddos 😳 because when you run out of paper, the wall is the next best thing! 🎨

We are incredibly grateful for their time, hard work, and support.

Another fantastic feature by the Yorkshire Post! 🌟 Charmian Owston truly embodies everything our co-production team stands for.

This fantastic article highlights the power of survivors using their voices to empower others.

Because of the dedication of co-production members like Charm, we are able to continuously shape and improve our practice to support more women effectively.

Here at Butter Side Up, we have been partnering up with various local charities for our recent productions, successfully raising hundreds of pounds to support these charities and their causes through donations from our members and audience members alike. For Thestival 2026, we will be raising funds for Sheffield Women's Aid, a specialist domestic abuse charity, who have been supporting women and children (and pets!) for over 50 years.

Sheffield Women’s Aid provide safe refuge accommodation for women and families who, in crisis, need to leave their own homes and come to a place of safety. Their specialist practitioners provide trauma-informed, 1-1 and group support to enable the survivors they work with to cope and recover from domestic abuse.

We are very proud to be supporting this cause and will be taking donations at each night of Thestival 2026. All funds raised will be gratefully received and will help to make women’s and children’s lives better at a point where they may arrive with nothing into Sheffield Women's Aid's refuges, and help in the delivery of activities they provide for them.

Tickets are still on sale for Thestival 2026, coming to the Lantern Theatre from Thursday 29th to Saturday 31st October, on the following link: https://www.ticketsource.com/thel.../thestival-2026/e-ljpjjm

We are enormously proud of the brave survivors who shared their stories on Thursday.

Their accounts show the lived reality of those who experience domestic abuse and the challenges they face to not only live safely but also to seek justice. They constantly inspire us with their courage.

We are deeply grateful for their collaboration as members of our co-production group —helping us shape our services to offer greater support and understanding to the women and children in our refuges.

"Domestic Abuse is a shadow in the corner of every room, of every home, of every work place and we must talk about this."

We are so proud of Charmian, one of the brave survivors who shared their lived experience of domestic abuse and the impact support services like refuge had on them, during our visit from the Attorney General and South Yorkshire's Deputy Mayor for Policing & Crime today.

The need for properly funded support services are more crucial than ever to protect women and children experiencing abuse.

With the kids heading back to school and the summer heat finally fading, we’re reflecting on a season full of joy, laughter, and healing. ✨

Fun isn’t just extra - it’s essential to a child’s healing journey. We are so incredibly grateful for all of the donations that made these summer activities possible! 💛

💬What was the highlight of your summer? ☀️
