Welcome to

Sanctuary Garden CIC

We’re so glad that you’ve found us!

At Sanctuary Garden CIC, we believe that nature and animals have a unique way of reaching parts of the heart that words cannot. Life can be overwhelming, loud, and demanding. Here, we invite you to leave that at the gate.

We are a Community Interest Company dedicated to the well-being of our local community. Our sanctuary was created as a peaceful haven for those who need it most—a place where the only expectation is to simply be.

A Space Designed for You

We specialize in providing gentle, non-judgmental companionship for:

  • Children & Adults with SEND: A sensory-friendly environment where every individual is celebrated for who they are.

  • The EOTAS Community: A natural “classroom” of kindness for families educating outside the school system.

  • Residents in Care: Bringing the joy of animal connection to those in residential settings, rekindling memories and comfort.

  • Mental Health Warriors: A quiet refuge for anyone of any age navigating the storms of anxiety, depression, or stress.

 
 

 

 

Healing, Wherever You Are

Whether you step into the stillness of our Sanctuary Garden or you need us to bring that peace to your own space, we are here for you.

Our animals are more than just pets; they are specially bred and trained companions who offer a steady, calming presence. They don’t judge, they don’t rush, and they don’t ask for anything but your company.

Take a breath. Spend some time. Find your peace.

 
 

 

 

How we can help:

  • Visit the Garden: Book a private or small-group session in our sensory-focused sanctuary.

  • Community Groups: Tailored sessions for local support networks.
