10 fundraisers with 83 blisters: Tingewick society, made up of 29 medical students, have organised over 10 events this year, including climbing the Three Peaks in just over 24 hours. The firm are on track to raise over £10,000! Impact: This could cover the costs of Restore's entire coaching team for two weeks, with 39% of coached members moving into work.
Cowley Road Carnival comeback: After five years, the carnival returned, with the Garden café generating five times their usual takings! Impact: New visitors visited the café, turning curiosity into support and improving visibility of Restore's work.
Chat & Bat with Monty: In partnership with cricketing legend Monty Panesar, Oxenford Cricket Club and Sixes Social, the event blended sport and mental health conversations. Impact: The sum raised could cover materials costs at a recovery group for an entire year, plus 20% of the maintenance costs.
