PARENT SANCTUARY CIC

Here at Parent Sanctuary, we help you transition to parenthood, deal with the sleepless nights, the worries, and put to rest the 3 am Googles. Parent Sanctuary is a social enterprise that has been set up to help new parents transition to parenthood, whether a first baby or a new baby. Through the pandemic parents have been isolated, lonely and without those important coffee breaks that help us form peer friendships, realise we and our babies are doing OK, and provide a socially distanced hug when they're not. We run virtual nature walks that are open to parents of children KS1 and under. When restrictions allow, we go for physical walks in and around Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Our virtual and physical walks given parents and children a bonding experience through nature that supports bonding and development, we use organic nature-based sensory play to support fine and gross motor skills and learn about the world. We work with schools and the council to provide wellbeing support and education.
