As reported in the Free Press and on our website the club issued a last ditch plea to businesses in the borough as its struggled to find just £500 for a coach to travel to what could be their final game.
Law firm Irwin Mitchell has donated the cash needed for the team to travel to play Arsenal on Sunday.
However, the club - the oldest in the Women's Premier League - will fold unless a major new sponsor comes forward.
Dial M for Mortgages has also started a collection bucket for the Belles at its shop in Cleveland Street.
