Thank you to all the wonderful people and community
groups who have made such generous donations this
Christmas period. You have given the gift of hope and
recovery to so many this holiday season, and we
couldn't be more grateful.
Fighting StigmaA huge thanks to AndrewGary who raised over £2000 for Restore this month through their charity boxing match. Andrew has been on
local tv and BBC radio to publicise the match and talk about mental health, doing an amazing job at raising awareness of mental health problems and challenging stigma. Watch his interview with That's TV here.
Hark the herald angels sing...We've been overwhelmed by
the support of the community
this Christmas, who have been getting musical for
mental health. A huge thanks to:
- University choirs, The Ultrasounds and Aneurhythms
who held an acapella concert two weeks ago
- Oxford Spires Rotary Club who went caroling through
Woodstock on Friday
- Jan Buhagiar and his brass band who held a concert
for Restore in Goring last weekend
- The village of Iffley who will be carolling and country
dancing at the village hall for Restore tonight (go along
if you can!)
- Everyone involved in our recovery groups' winter
events - there was live music, stalls lots of festive fun
Christmas CollectionsA big big thank you to our fabulous volunteers who helped at our stalls at Oxford Business Park and Westgate Centre last week, and to the wonderful people at Genzyme and Sainsbury's who hosted us!
Shaving livesThanks so much to Carl Duringer, who grew this glorious 'tasche
for "Movember" to raise money for Restore. We were quite sad to
see it go in the end...! Sponsor Carl here(Thanks should also go his wife for putting up with the facial
intruder...)
