Unfortunately, we can’t leave Restore’s funding needs in the hands of Father Christmas!
Although we are reliant on grant making charitable trusts to meet the bulk of Restore’s expenditure, we are hugely grateful to individuals and local churches that support Restore’s work financially. Standing orders in 2024 brought in over £20,000.
Volunteers and staff have taken on community fundraising challenges, most recently a half-marathon and a 25-hour sponsored silence. Other ideas could be a sponsored swim, tea party, plant sale, donations in lieu of birthday gifts…… If you have an idea, we can help you set up a fundraising page, please contact Jeremy, Restore’s Manager on befriend@restore-uk.org
These ways of raising money provide us with a diversity of funding sources which is looked on favourably by charitable trusts.
In 2024, we were very grateful for the financial support of grant making trusts including Barrow Cadbury Trust, National Lottery Awards for All, the Inclusive Communities Fund (via Heart of England Community Foundation), Hilden Trust, Eveson Trust, Roughley Trust, Cole Charitable Trust, the George Henry Collins Charity, Bishop Radford Trust, Grimmitt Trust, John Avins Trust, Henry James Sayer Charity and Richard Kilcuppe’s Charity.
Restore annual budget for 2025 is £173,365.
