Join ClinksThe Restore Trust believe in a fair society where socially excluded people are supported to obtain skills, qualifications and employment to build sustainable, independent lives contributing positively to society.
At its foundation, The Restore Trust was set up in 2009 by the current CEO Suzanne Thompson and SMT board of Avon & Somerset Probation Trust, in conjunction with the National Offender Management Service. The organisation was registered as an independent VCSE in 2010 and is managed by an excellent board of trustees. Whilst the organisation retains a specialism in working with people with complex needs and criminal convictions, it can work with anyone in the community who is experiencing barriers in accessing training and employment.
Many of our clients have complex needs in relation to homelessness, mental health problems, drug/alcohol dependency and offending behaviour. We pride ourselves on our non-judgemental, person-centred approach in our work.

Contract History
Supporting information
The Restore Trust can evidence additional social value outcomes to a prime contractor bid. One example is the CFO3 Criminal Justice programme:
The Restore Trust is pleased to be a Tier 2 provider working alongside the prime Contractor the Shaw Trust/Ixion Group and other specialist providers in the South West to deliver the HMPSS Co-Financing Organisation Round 3 (CFO 3) contract. The contract receives funding from the European Social Fund.
One of the core objectives of CFO 3 is to improve social inclusion. Many of the participants the Restore Trust work with have experienced multiple difficulties accessing education and training - excluding them from finding better opportunities after release from prison. The Restore Trust works with a range of specialist providers to help participants improve confidence, motivation and access specialist support to move participants towards accessing mainstream services and training and job opportunities.
