Partnerships

At Sanctuary Supported Living, we work with a range of partners to provide accommodation, care and support which is tailored to meet the individual needs of each of the 6,000 people we support each year.

In partnership with industry experts, professional agencies and charities, and people who are specialists in their fields, we support residents to build their confidence and gain essential life skills, so that they can live as independently as possible – whatever that may mean for each person.

If your business or organisation would like to support your local Sanctuary Supported Living service, or if you’d like to volunteer and help the people we support to build on their skills, improve their wellbeing and be part of their community, please contact our services in your area.

Charities, support groups and community groups

Our supported housing services work in partnership with local, regional and national charities, as well as support groups, community projects, and businesses. These partnerships give residents opportunities to develop their skills and confidence, gain additional support from specialist agencies, and play an active role in supporting their local community, both for their own benefit and the communities where we have a presence. Some of our recent partnerships include:

Food banks such as the Trussell Trust
The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust and their Get On Track project
Schools, colleges and universities, including West Suffolk College
Local businesses, including Drake Circus shopping centre and Aldi supermarket
Specialist charities and community groups, such as The King's Trust, Macmillan and Neighbourly

Within Sanctuary

We work closely with teams from across the wider Sanctuary Group, sharing our expertise, information and experience, for the benefit of all residents.

Our services also receive funding and support for their resident-led projects and community activities from Sanctuary’s Co-regulation team and from Sanctuary’s Community Investment fund.
