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
