About Restart

Nobody’s circumstances define their worth

Restart walks alongside people from all backgrounds facing different setbacks. Some days the practical need is food or shelter; at other times it is training, employment or recovery support.

Our ethos

Immediate need, lasting independence

We meet practical needs first: food, shelter and a safe place to begin. From there we widen the path toward skills training, employment and recovery support, so each person can shape their own next step.

We work with people as partners, not as cases. Every person we meet is a whole person with ambition, skills and a future still being written.

Partner charities
