Story

29 May 2025 is the 365th anniversary of Restoration Day, the beginning of the remarkably colourful Restoration era (usually defined as 1660–88).

365 days in a year

So 23–29 May 2025: Let's post on social media about any day in 1660–88.

E.g.

2 Sep 1666

Great Fire of London starts

[add #RestorationAge365 and details as you wish]

Serious, funny, whatever – just nothing that's likely to upset anyone

Special feature at the end

I hope you can donate a little for Cancer Research UK. All contributions are welcome, and why not add a few pence to your donation to represent a date? (For instance, £10.11 would mark 10 November or October 11.) Another idea would be to match a year of the Restoration age (e.g. if you're thinking of donating £15, could you increase it to, for example, £16.65?) Needless to say though, there is no need to do this. Thank you sincerely for any donation of any value.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate, saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
