About Us
Our history
PLACEHOLDER — Step 10 — history
Awaiting Karen's draft. The About Us document still carries her own bracketed placeholder here — {Brief paragraph about our origins and history.} — so nothing has been written in its place. The homepage already states the Sanctuary has welcomed people since 2010 and names Margaret Walsh as founder and patron, which is the only history currently evidenced anywhere on the site.

Our vision

Portraits of the staff team and trustees are still to be supplied by Abi. Two already exist on the site and can be reused when this is built out: abi-martin.png and timothy-menezes.png, both currently on the volunteers page.
