As Christmas approaches, we reflect on a year in which Restore has supported several hundred individuals experiencing mental ill health.

Thanks to generous support, Restore has provided therapeutic recovery groups, coaching and learning opportunities. A third of members have progressed into employment and a further third into volunteering or training. Also, thousands of courses have been attended by the community, including 1,000 Mental Health First Aiders trained.

Together, we can continue to give the gift of hope and support:

£10 a month, over a year could fund two months of coaching for an individual, supporting progress towards work, volunteering or training.

£20 a month, over a year could fund five weeks of therapeutic recovery group attendance for a member, to rebuild confidence and develop new skills.

We look forward to a New Year with increased hope, greater understanding of mental health and reduced stigma. With thanks and our warmest season’s greetings, from everyone at Restore.
