• To promote the health and welfare of young, elderly, disabled, and chronically or terminally ill people and people suffering from emotional isolation, autism-related or stress-related disorders applying therapy (within our peaceful, ecologically-aware surroundings) based on empathetic interaction with animals.

• To host educational events and to enable academic research about the value of interaction with animals in aiding the vulnerable and the chronically and terminally ill.

• To offer accommodation for weekly or monthly rental for the those at risk, host a library and meeting place for those in our sanctuary who would like to associate with each other and the local community.

• We are, as a charity, a non-political organisation,we work towards reducing suffering for both humans and animals. We always pursue an approach in the carrying out of our covenants that moves towards peaceful change and disclaim violent acts.
