In 2018 our fundraising coordinator Martine organised a Charity Dog Walk in Trosley Country Park in Kent which proved so successful it has now become an annual event!

A big thank you to Emily, Store manager of Primark Bluewater, Charlotte Alexander and their colleagues who wanted to support the local area with gifted goodies. Charlotte, the daughter of Suzanne, one of our lovely Restore Darent Valley, Dartford group volunteer models, kindly suggested Restore to receive the gifted goodies. Emily and her team were very keen to support the patients undergoing breast reconstruction, so kindly and generously presented us with a great variety of goodies. Thank you so much Emily, Charlotte and all at Primark Bluewater, we are so grateful to you!
