The Animals Helping People (AHP) Programme at Crosskennan Lane Animal Sanctuary is a unique initiative where the bond between humans and animals fosters healing, growth, and connection. Through hands-on interactions with our rescue animals, we support mental health, build confidence, and create a nurturing space for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
What We Offer:
🐴 Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL): Work with horses to develop trust, communication, and teamwork skills while promoting emotional well-being.
🐾 Therapeutic Animal Interactions: Relax with therapy dogs, connect with friendly cats, or experience the calming presence of horses.
👦 Pony Pals Programme: Teach children empathy and responsibility through pony care, grooming, and interaction.
📘 Educational Workshops: Gain practical skills in animal care and management.

In the past 12 months, we’ve helped 757 individuals, including:
