WHAT VOLUNTEERS SAY
"Volunteering at Restore has ticked many boxes for me: I’ve met and worked with amazing and inspiring people. I’ve learned a lot about mental health, its challenges, and the heart-warming stories of recovery. I’ve shared skills from my career and learned new ones. It’s been a fulfilling part of adjusting to life after retirement, giving me the chance to give back to the community."
