As the New Year begins, honours will be awarded in recognition of the services given by incredible individuals across the UK.
Incredible individuals also surround Restore and deserve celebration too! Their efforts have made it possible to support almost 500 members last year, with over 6,000 sessions provided, coaching for 400 people, and over 2,000 recovery course attendances.
