In the charity's own words
The Restoration Trust initiates and runs projects that connect people who live with mental health issues with heritage, including archaeology, ancient landscapes, historic places and archives. Stimulating friendship, curiosity and imagination, these projects help people feel more human again. We call this culture therapy and want it to become everyday good practice in heritage and mental health
