Our Focus

Re:store Northampton has a wide range of projects that focus on building community and strengthening families, which in turn contribute to our main aim of reducing the impact of poverty within the town and improving health and wellbeing. 

Through partnership working, with beneficiaries and local agencies, Re:store has always been able to adapt to address the emerging needs within the town. The hope is to contribute to thriving communities, where people belong and are empowere

Strengthening Families
Connecting families through create play environments has a positive impact on both children and parents/carers. Children are thriving as they engage with the wide range of activities on offer at Re:store Northampton, and parents report they feel less lonely and more supported. Many families accessing services have complex issues, that impact on their health and wellbeing, but feel more positive as they develop healthy relationships once access support services, such as Growbaby and Nest. The holistic therapeutic approach to all services seek to develop skills and confidence and build resilience in families.

Inspiring Change
Re:store has an individualistic approach within a group-work or drop-in setting. Through the skilled work of support workers, project co-ordinators and our Occupational Therapist, adults accessing services are empowered to make positive changes. Likewise, the invaluable volunteer teams in all projects are encouraged to identify areas for development so they reach their full potential. Many projects are focused on or provide an element of building practical life skills, such as the Allotment, or volunteering in the cafe at the Hub.

Working Together
Re:store Northampton recognises the wealth of experience in the community, including the “lived experience” of beneficiaries, and engages them to identify opportunities for improvement. As many who access Re:store Northampton present with complex needs, the access to wider support is paramount. Where possible, Re:store engages with and provides facilities for partners agencies to provide better outcomes for all of the community. There is a wealth of charities and services across the town that deliver incredible services to people and communities in Northampton and Re:store always seeks to honour and champion these partners.

Reducing Impact of poverty
Most recent statistics revealed that more than 1/4 children are living in poverty in the town. This has a serious knock-on effect for these families in all areas of life, including but not limited to mental health, housing stability, food provision, safety and security. 

Building Community
Connecting people and bringing life to communities is a key part of the work at Re:store Northampton. Through creating welcoming, accessible community spaces that celebrate diversity and promote unity, people are brought together to build healthy relationships. These activities, including Nest and Hub, enable natural support networks to form, which counteract the vicious cycle of poverty and social isolation.

Improving Health & Wellbeing
All projects and activities at Re:store have a holistic approach that enables us to focus on improving the health and wellbeing of families and individuals that engage with us at a universal level. The range of support on offer includes accessible open activities that encourage healthy lifestyles, to more targeted work to address issues that impact mental health, such as housing insecurity, debt and parenting concerns.
