If you read our newsletter or social media posts, you will be aware that we’ve launched a new hub group in the last few weeks. Our Bread Hub has been established in response to resident feedback that they would like a hub which has a more direct Bible study focus. We’ve been running a Bible study after one of our hubs for a while now, but it was tagged onto the end, so that anyone who didn’t want to participate could still attend the first part of the hub without any pressure to join in. However, so many residents were choosing to stay for Bible study and were eager to engage with this in a more structured way, that we decided to make it a more prominent feature. There is no requirement to attend bread hub, or engage with Bible study, it is entirely voluntary. There are other hubs throughout the week which don’t have a faith focus, so for residents who don’t wish to engage with that side of our work, they have other options available to them. https://www.restoreyork.co.uk/blog/beyond-a-new-years-resolution monthly 0.5 2026-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6800bd38cb7248324273ae0a/f4973c93-8fbe-4a6c-beba-7eb3a102e1b1/blog+post+images-square+%282%29.png Restore York - Blog - Beyond a New Year’s Resolution: How Restore Residents Create Lasting Change We’ve heard the chimes of Big Ben, we’ve watched the fireworks over the Thames, and we’ve sung Auld Lang Syne.

During that time we’ve housed over 400 people, providing homes, hope and community to every individual who has passed through our doors. Our celebration service to mark this milestone was a wonderful occasion, and we’re grateful to everyone who gave up their Saturday afternoon to join us at Saint Paul’s Church, to give thanks for the way God has blessed and protected the charity over the last fifteen years. Although local MP Rachael Maskell was sadly unable to join us in person on the day, she has sent through a copy of her planned remarks, with permission to share them here. Here is what our local Member of Parliament values about the contribution the work of Restore makes to our community: https://www.restoreyork.co.uk/blog/i-work-for-a-homeless-charity-and-still-risked-becoming-homeless monthly 0.5 2025-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6800bd38cb7248324273ae0a/f907b066-9859-4190-aa9f-e6eba2f03227/letting+signs.png Restore York - Blog - I work for a homeless charity and still risked becoming homeless… As the Fundraising Officer for Restore, I am constantly aware of how much money we need to raise, in order to sustain our work and support our residents, and just how expensive housing and bills have become. The Cost of Living Crisis has impacted on York’s housing market; the impact of this upon someone’s life and wellbeing has definitely been put into perspective for me recently, through my own search for a rental property. Here are some personal insights based on my recent experiences. https://www.restoreyork.co.uk/blog/knowing-your-limits-why-quitting-is-not-always-failure monthly 0.5 2025-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6800bd38cb7248324273ae0a/14a20b75-bcf1-40e2-ae1a-62be6fb9e8a8/dalby2.JPG Restore York - Blog - Knowing your limits: why quitting is not always failure. - Our annual trip to Dalby Forest is a highlight for many at Restore: and I don’t just mean the residents!

In October, Restore will have existed as an organisation for fifteen years, and we are excited to celebrate that milestone. Beyond this will come the anniversary of us signing the lease on our first house; welcoming our first resident, and so on. If it’s true that from small acorns great oak trees grow, then this is a perfect opportunity to look back on the early days of Restore and reflect on the faithfulness of God over the last fifteen years, as we’ve clearly seen His hand at work, helping us to expand our provision and services. https://www.restoreyork.co.uk/blog/sleep-out monthly 0.5 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6800bd38cb7248324273ae0a/1748095937585-UBZNT8RX7E2UHLSTNJ48/LB-sleepout.jpg Restore York -
