Thank you to our amazing team today who always go the extra mile; especially Carol who made many of the incredible puds.

Wet week next week but hope it’s dry next Sunday when we’ll be back.

That was a hot one!
A steady kitchen today, serving around 100 people and giving out 300 two-course meals (most people take 3 mains/puds pp suitable for the next day). Surplus meals were delivered to households in need, Peasholme Hostel and Robinson Court Hostel.
Lots of cold water was handed out - please remember to ask those on the streets if they need this (and sun cream!)
Thank you to our amazing team - simply the best ❤️
Special thanks again to Christine Thompson for the huge bag of toiletries and essentials and kind donation ❤️

A great organisation 👏

Just a quick stats update from us:

We currently support 44 residents across 14 properties. Additionally, we manage 4 properties that are for refugee family groups. We also support 20 former Restore residents who are now living in their own independent housing. So far this year we've had 15 residents move from Restore into a place of their own.

None of this is possible without your generous donations. When you give to Restore you are helping to change the lives of people who want to leave homelessness behind them and move forward with hope for a brighter future. Stand with us and help end homelessness in York. https://www.restoreyork.co.uk/donate

Such a lovely welcoming environment.

Hello
We have always striven to provide items over and above the meals that are ‘essentials’. This includes toiletries, toilet roll, thermal items when needed and survival bags for those sleeping rough. However these are getting more expensive at a time when demand for food is increasing, which we prioritise.
If anyone can help from time to time buying items from our Amazon Wishlist that would relieve the pressure on us. Unopened toiletries and pet food are also gratefully accepted.
Thank you so much ❤️
