Long Ears Animal Sanctuary CIC

In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Over the year 2024/2025 we have opened our doors to numerous individuals that have been able to participate in formal sessions or in casual meet ups at the quarry. These people consist of a couple of non school attendees who have not been able to go into school for several years. One child in particular, has been isolated in their bedroom, unable to take part in every day life due to severe health conditions. They have slowly over the months become more confident and able to take part in activities around the animals and have actively been wanting to attend regularly. Also we have provided a safe and quiet place surrounded by animals where bereaved people have been able to come or people going through a mental health crisis. By surrounding themselves with animals, this helps their bodies to regulate their emotions and find a sense of peace and calm within themselves. We have been concentrating on providing 1-1 support mainly this year rather than having larger school groups up.
