Here at Restore Movement we value compassion, tolerance and acceptance. We welcome people of all colours, gender identities, sexualities, neurotypes and abilities, accommodating all needs where we can, and we welcome guidance in any of these areas, as we have much to learn. We stand against the genocide in Gaza, the actions of far-right extremists, and intolerance of all kinds. If that sounds good to you, then you are more than welcome here.
