RESTORE boutique

What we do

Restore Boutique offers:

  • Beautiful pre-loved clothing and accessories

  • Employability placements and training opportunities

  • A welcoming environment where women can rebuild confidence and community

  • Clothing support through referrals — women from partner agencies and support services can shop with dignity for everyday wear, interviews, new jobs, or court appearances

Every item donated or purchased helps sustain the wider work of Restore.

The boutique is one of the ways we offer employability placements, confidence-building, and dignity for the women we work alongside.

workshops

Restore Boutique hosts practical and creative workshops designed to build confidence, connection, and new skills.
Workshops vary throughout the year and may include:

  • Confidence-building and wellbeing sessions

  • Creative and craft workshops

  • Skills-based sessions linked to employability

These sessions are offered in small, supportive groups with a trauma-informed approach.

style sessions

We also offer personalised styling sessions for women who may need help finding outfits that fit, feel comfortable, and boost confidence.
These sessions are gentle, one-to-one, and offered by trained volunteers who create a warm, encouraging environment
