THE SANCTUARY PROJECT
Ofsted Regulated Supported Accommodation
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.
Director/Nominated Individual
Carly
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.
Operations Manager
Daisy
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.
Finance & Business Services
Manager
Kayleigh
I help with the running of The Sanctuary Project alongside the Directors and Manager. I have a Level 3 in Health and Social Care, ICT and Business Administration and Level 5 in Management and Leadership. I also do support work with the young people to help them reach independence. I thoroughly enjoy working at The Sanctuary Project and wish to help the young people achieve their goals and aspirations in life.
Interim Registered Service Manager
Gill
While raising my children, I earned a BSc (Hons) in Criminology with Psychological Studies, driven by my deep interest in the connection between mental health and nurturing during the formative years of a young person’s life. I have volunteered with the West Yorkshire Community Rehabilitation Company and The Recovery College at Drury Lane, supporting mental health services.
My career began in residential care, an experience I found deeply rewarding and a privilege to be part of young people’s lives. I then transitioned to The Sanctuary Project, where I have had the opportunity to support many young people facing a range of challenges and behaviors.
I am now excited to lead the team, ensuring they have the guidance and knowledge needed to maintain the exceptional level of support they consistently provide.
Accommodations Manager
Tom
I have experience working with people with learning disabilities in both residential and community settings. I have a degree in social work and extensive experience of living and working with young people who are living in the care system. My passion is to see our young people reach their full potential and live in their own tenancies.
