Chair of the Board of Trustees - Revised and Re-Advertised

Restored is a small Christian charity making a big impact across the UK and internationally. Restored works to transform relationships and end violence against women. Our vision is that the UK Church recognises and responds effectively, and in line with good practice, to domestic abuse. 

Restored focuses on preventing and ending domestic abuse within the UK church and acting as a catalyst internationally for others to do the same. Restored raises awareness and equips the church through its specialist resources and training. We support survivors of abuse via an online network and through specialised resources. As violence against women is not just a women’s problem, we engage men as part of the solution. 

The issues on which Restored has been advocating have moved centre stage in the media and public attention, with increasing outrage at the levels of sexual and gender based violence across society. Such abuse is found in churches too. Our ground-breaking research on domestic abuse amongst churchgoers in Cumbria found that 25% of respondents had suffered at least one form of domestic abuse in their current relationship (both women and men). In 2019, Restored launched a handbook for survivors of domestic abuse, written by experts in their fields. The handbook is in great demand.

Interested in joining us?
