Restored is building a network of churches standing together against domestic abuse and supporting survivors. These churches are called Restored Beacons: Churches whose light guides survivors home to safety. A beacon that calls the people of God to stand together to fix that which is broken in their communities and live out a different way.

Come along to this free webinar to find out more about how your church can partner with Restored to stand against domestic abuse and support survivors, by joining our Restored Beacon Network. There's no obligation to sign up at this stage, and anyone is welcome to join.

HOT OFF THE PRESS, TODAY
Community Project - Strabane Food Bank, a Food Bank in the Trussell Trust Community, is excited to announce it is working with acclaimed garden designer Rob Hardy to create a show garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, taking place in May 2026. The "Together Garden" sponsored by "Project Giving Back" is inspired by how Food Banks and the people who support them come together to help people who are struggling to get by, and symbolizes how, when each of us plays our part, we can end hunger together.

Incredibly, after the garden features at the flagship event, it will be transported back to the Strabane Community Projects Community garden & recreated so the Community can enjoy the showpiece for years to come.

Our Together Garden is inspired by people coming together through food banks to provide vital support and symbolises how together we can end hunger.
