All Upcoming Events
Run for fun at Blenheim Palace grounds and support Restore! Why not give something back, and take on the challenge for #GiveADay?
There’s something for everyone on the day: 7k run, children’s 1 mile event, wheelchair & buggy events, so the perfect opportunity to make a day of it. You could even bring a picnic!
Book your ticket online, then get sponsorship and raise some funds for Restore. You can set up your Just Giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/start-fundraising
The 7k course is suitable for all ages and abilities. It offers a challenging run for the more experienced, and beautiful surroundings for the beginner or anyone who wants to take a more leisurely pace. The wheelchair and buggy event will differ slightly and take place over a 4-mile course following the trails around the grounds of Blenheim Palace.
All competitors will receive a medal, as well as prizes for the winners, and trophies for the fastest teams. The event is free for spectators, so why not make it part of a special day out, with family or friends?
Get fit in 2020 and give something back by riding at Bike Oxford for Restore! All ages and abilities welcome.
Why not make this challenge your way of giving back, in our #GiveADay initiative? Sign up with Team Restore today to get your free place.
Each rider will have a £200 sponsorship target – we’d really love you to help us beat last year’s £3,000 total! The money you raise will make a genuine difference in the lives of local people in recovery from mental ill-health.
Bike Oxford is an amazing day, taking in the best scenery of Oxford and the surrounding countryside. Choose to ride 25, 50 or 80k and to start/finish from either Oxford University Rugby Club or Chipping Norton Rugby Club. When you sign up with Restore, you will receive:
- A free medal at the end of your ride;
- Timing and routes via the new Iconic App;
- Hot food and a bar on your return to either rugby club;
- Fully waymarked routes with a back up route map and GPS files;
- Feed stations on the long and medium routes showcasing the best produce from local food and drink suppliers;
- On-course first aid support.

Winter Clothing Community Drive
Donate your spare warm, winter clothing to help our members.
This winter Restore has an unusual request. We are happily now able to welcome our service users back onsite, but our COVID-19 safety regulations mean that our buildings have to remain extremely ventilated, with doors and windows open at all times. As winter approaches and temperatures fall, we want to keep our 292 members safe, warm and dry. So we’re launching a community drive to gather clean and good quality winter clothing from local businesses, organisations and communities to help us keep our services open to the people who need them.
Throughout October we’ll be accepting donations of winter clothing of all sorts, from hats and gloves to wellies, fleeces, anoraks and coats. We respect our members, and ask that any donations are clean and in excellent condition. Our drive will culminate on 31st October, so that we can distribute the items to our service users across the county before the coldest weather hits. So if you have anything to give, please let us know before then!
If you would like to donate items or discuss this further, please contact a member of our fundraising team at fundraising@restore.org.uk.
Thank you for helping us keep our services running this winter.
