Amazing response to fundraising appeal!

In mid-September, we launched a financial appeal to help Restore bridge our current funding gap. Was the target of £20,000 a pipedream?

We have been amazed, humbled, moved and blown away by the incredible generosity of the Restore community as we have already raised £20,786 and we can claim an additional £3,187 in Gift Aid.

To all who have donated to the appeal and all who give regularly, on behalf of those who will continue to benefit from Restore’s work, the Restore staff team and the Restore Management Committee thank you very, very much for your partnership with us.

Does this resolve our financial challenges? No, not completely, BUT it helps significantly. The very generous response underlines the grassroots support for the work of Restore to continue. As one donor wrote, “Restore does such vital work and at such a challenging and hostile time, it’s more important than ever.”

We are also grateful to the Barrow Cadbury Trust who paid their next grant instalment a month early to help us.

We round off this section with a recent quote from a service user about the impact of Restore’s work,

“You’ve offered something priceless: the feeling of being welcomed. You have helped turn strangers into neighbours and new arrivals into community members, reminding us what real compassion looks like. Thank you for helping people not only survive but belong.”
