Restore is the furniture, interiors and craft training arm of The Storehouse, an enterprise which is committed to 'Reaching out and Changing Lives.' All our furniture is lovingly restored by volunteers gaining a new start in life. The Storehouse provides food, support, education and training for over 7,000 people in Southend. All profits from restore go back into supporting these projects and help
ing people in need. It's a virtuous circle - restoring furniture which was broken, making it beautiful, providing new skills where there were few, seizing and providing opportunity and creating an income to pay for emergency food parcels for people in need. We are a project rooted in restoring people. We seek to give people access to the life they need and deserve through community and a pathway to relationship with God. The project shares the vision of The Storehouse totally, to be open and inclusive and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, creeds, and opinion. The restore project sees itself as honouring and celebrating the scripture Joel 2 22-26 as it carries out the simple, beautiful and therapeutic work of making the old look wonderful and new. Relationship and restoration go hand in hand at restore!
