Support Restore financially

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 2025 brought in over £21,000.

2025 was a challenging year financially, due to several grant refusals totalling over £60,000. We launched an appeal to supporters in September which amazingly raised an additional £24,224. We are very, very grateful for that grassroots endorsement of Restore’s work.

Volunteers and staff have taken on community fundraising challenges, most recently 24-hour sponsored silences and a half-marathon. 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 on the Wonderful fundraising platform, 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 grant making trusts.

In 2025, we were very grateful for the financial support of grant making trusts including Barrow Cadbury Trust, Hilden Trust, Eveson Trust, Roughley Trust, Cole Charitable Trust, the George Henry Collins Charity, Grimmitt Trust, John Avins Trust, Henry James Sayer Charity, Harry Payne Trust and Richard Kilcuppe’s Charity.

Restore annual budget for 2025 is £177,590.
