Sanctuary is an entirely voluntary organisation. Although small, we
are the only education based animal charity in Northern Ireland. We
operated as a refuge for many years before gaining full charitable
status in 1996 (charity number XR16305).
We are members of the National Equine Welfare Council and the Animal Welfare Federation of Northern Ireland. At Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary the animals are encouraged where possible to 'earn their keep' through contact with members of the community as the benefits of people having contact with animals has long been recognised. Therefore, we have diversified into education and training. We offer group
sessions (we can facilitate up to 30 people per session) at any of
the following times: |
   |

| More extended courses
available - details on request.
Each session offers: |

| Each session acts as
'values education', which encourages young people to be respectful
and kind to others - other people, other animals and their shared
environment. It consists of working with rescued animals at the Sanctuary, including horses, dogs and cats, and learning the correct way to care for them. The objectives aim to provide young people with the chance to learn new skills, build confidence and motivation. They can be empowered by working independently with the animals and making their own decisions, therefore giving them a sense of achievement. Sessions and courses provide young people with information, direction and advice on how to use their energy, ability and time to produce positive actions.
