About the Sanctuary

We exist to help animals in need, primarily at our 30 acre site on the Lizard peninsula. Many of our residents have very particular medical needs but nevertheless lead wonderful lives at the Sanctuary - our fundraising is aimed at ensuring we can continue to do this.

What We Do

We provide care and protection for animals suffering as a result of cruelty, sickness or neglect, and work to prevent such suffering. Our primary focus is on horses and ponies, but where possible we also help other animals in need. For example, we care for three sheep who arrived alongside three ponies after their elderly owner was no longer able to look after them.

Who We Are

Bolenowe Animal Sanctuary is a charity, charity number 1176724, governed as a charitable incorporated organisation, and you can see our governance documents here. We own Bonaventure Farm where all the animals in our care are looked after and we operate a shop in Helston.

Join the Cause

We rely upon our supporters to keep the Sanctuary going and provide a home for life for our ponies. There are many, many different ways of doing this from straight financial support to volunteering for work on the farm.
