About Us
About The Sanctuary Project
We are an Ofsted regulated supported accommodation, providing accommodation and support for 16-25 year old children in care, or care leavers.
At The Sanctuary Project, we believe in supporting and nurturing young people, to help them to grow and develop the skills and confidence they need to live full lives. We know some young people need more support than others and have had difficult challenges in their lives to overcome. That is why all our services are based around you as an individual and what you want to achieve.

Launching The Sanctuary Project has been the best job I have ever had and the most rewarding. Mark and I are totally committed to each young person we support and will do everything we can to help each of them achieve their dreams. We love our work and feel extremely blessed to see our young people flourish and grow, and increase their skills and confidence.
I have worked within the Social Care sector for many years, as a Personal Assistant for Young People with disabilities. In 2011 I decided to study Social Work and I am now a qualified Social Worker. I have worked in a number of different areas, including Child Protection, Leaving Care, and Fostering. My passion is working with Young People and enabling them to fulfil their potential. I joined the team at The Sanctuary Project as the Project stood out to me as a place whereby the Directors and staff were genuine, focused, and passionate about providing person centred support to Young People.
Whilst completing my Psychology degree, I began my career supporting individuals through the PACT project and CoSA, where I developed a strong interest in trauma-informed, community-based support. I joined The Sanctuary Project nearly five years ago and have grown into the role of Registered Service Manager. I’m passionate about creating a safe, consistent space where young people feel heard and empowered, and equally committed to developing a positive, motivated staff team. Together, we strive to make a real difference in the lives of those we support.

Operations Manager

After completing a Masters in Education Inclusion and Special Needs, I joined The Sanctuary Project with a deep passion for supporting young people facing significant challenges. My interests lie in helping young individuals access education, employment, or training opportunities, empowering them to build stable futures. In my current role as Operations Manager, I manage a dedicated and passionate team, working collaboratively to ensure we achieve the best outcomes for those we support. Together, we strive to create meaningful, transformative opportunities for every young person at the Project.
