Restore Community Projects was previously known as the Kings Cross Furniture Project. Originally we started life as an offshoot of Kings Cross Homelessness Project, taking up a small place in their premises to offer furniture to their clients. As the demand for furniture grew, we became an independent organisation in our own right on 29/3/1996, and moved into our own premises.
We stayed in the area of Kings Cross until the end of 2000, when we were required to move due to the redevelopment of the area. We then relocated to Tottenham, and to reflect both our new location and the diversification of our activities, we changed our name to ReStore Community Projects.
We are a registered charity (no. 1054645) and a company limited by guarantee (no. 3180496). We receive no direct grants from central or local government, but are funded by a combination of self-generated income from the small charges we make for our items, revenue for providing services to local authorities, and grants from charitable trusts.
In 2005 ReStore Community Projects was nominated for a Better Haringey Award
