šŸŒŸ What is the Animals Helping People Programme? šŸŒŸ

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:

šŸ“ Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL): Work with horses to develop trust, communication, and teamwork skills while promoting emotional well-being.

šŸ¾ Therapeutic Animal Interactions: Relax with therapy dogs, connect with friendly cats, or experience the calming presence of horses.

šŸ‘¦ Pony Pals Programme: Teach children empathy and responsibility through pony care, grooming, and interaction.

šŸ“˜ Educational Workshops: Gain practical skills in animal care and management.







šŸ’› Why Support the Animals Helping People Programme?

In the past 12 months, weā€™ve helped 757 individuals, including:

šŸŒŸ Children and adults with Autism, ADHD, and PTSD.

šŸŒŸ Elderly care home residents with dementia and mobility issues.

šŸŒŸ Refugees, families experiencing homelessness, and individuals facing mental health challenges.



Your support enables us to:

šŸ”¹ Provide free or subsidised sessions for those in need.

šŸ”¹ Care for the animals who make these experiences possible.

šŸ”¹ Cover costs for feed, bedding, vet bills, and facility upkeep.


šŸ”„ Why Support Today? šŸ”„

This week, your donation can go TWICE AS FAR with The Big Give Campaign! For every Ā£1 you donate, we receive an extra Ā£1, doubling your impact.


What Your Donation Means:

āœ… Ā£10 becomes Ā£20ā€”enough to provide fresh bedding for therapy sessions.

āœ… Ā£50 becomes Ā£100ā€”ensuring our animals stay healthy and happy.

āœ… Ā£100 becomes Ā£200ā€”supporting more individuals in need of life-changing experiences.


Your contribution will directly impact both people and animals, helping us continue and expand this vital programme. Together, we can create a brighter future for 1,000 participants in the year ahead!
