The Sanctuary is a registered Charity, No 1076645, and survives on donations and visitor admissions. VISION
To preserve the integrity of the Articles of the Charity in every aspect of the work we do here at the Sanctuary and to provide a quality service to our supporters without contravening the ethos of the Sanctuary. To provide an educational resource and visitor experience and make a signific

ant contribution to the economy of the Upper Swansea and Dulais Valleys. MISSION STATEMENT
We intend to do our utmost to rescue and rehabilitate animals in need as far as we are able to accommodate them and provide them with a high level of care and quality of life. All animals in our care will remain here for the rest of their lives. We aim to continuously improve animal welfare by training and developing our staff and volunteers to their full potential. We intend also to constantly review and improve our facilities for visitors who provide the main source of funding. In this way we hope to maintain a balance between the ethos of the Sanctuary and the necessity for its economic viability and to provide our supporters with a comprehensive understanding of the factors governing the Sanctuary’s development.

Today marks 15yrs since we rescued Sinbad, a Crab Eating Macaque who used to
live in Malaysia among the mangrove groves on the coast. He was a stowaway and hid on a
ship and the sailors made a
cage and caught him. When
the ship arrived in the UK,
Graham was waiting for him
and brought him to the
sanctuary. He lives with Carly, an ex lab Macaque, they get on well and you'll often see them grooming each other or having a nap in the tunnel. He absolutely loves his food especially bananas, baked potatoes and nuts!

Angus, a Marmoset, with his baby food moustache is the cutest 😍 We rescued him from a lab, whereas the rest of our Marmosets are from the pet trade. We put their vitamins in baby food.

Today marks 19yrs since we rescued the wonderful and handsome Ronnie 🐵 We rescued him from a German zoo! He does his own version of sign language which visitors love, he gets them to take off hats, glasses, clothes etc 😂 He absolutely loves his food and hanging out with Toto, Nakima & Bili. You'll often see them grooming each other 🥰 He's also gone viral a few times from his eating videos or him pouring his bottles of water into a cup or makeshift cup 😂 He's our youngest chimp and going to be turning 39 in July!

You can meet Ronnie & the gang with a meet & greet, see our website for more info and phone 01639 730276 to book 📞
