“If we will have the wisdom to survive, To stand like slow growing trees on a ruined place, Renewing, enriching it, If we will make our seasons welcome here, Asking not too much of earth or heaven, Then a long time after we are dead , The lives our lives prepare will live here.”    (Wendell Berry)

Our Purpose

Elm Grove Sanctuary Trust/Limited was founded in 1987. It is a Not-for-profit Foundation listed with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We rely upon private donations from individuals who support our work and enable this to continue.

 – Elm Grove Sanctuary Trust offers support, encouragement and hope for all people, irrespective of race or creed, especially when they are in need.

 – Our focus is based upon a deep compassion for all of life in respect to the beauty and awe of our natural world.

 – The daily human challenges confronting us all call us to stand beside each other as we seek to find solutions, lift despair, and offer hope for better outcomes.

 – We support the need for a holistic approach to education for our younger generation with a focus on community engagement in the education of our young people to support equality of opportunity and enable them to reach their full potential.

 – We hold in grave concern the health of our planet – a direct result of human consumption and failure to realise the sacredness of our natural world of which we are an integral part.

 – We seek to draw people to a greater understanding and connection to our role as Guardians of Creation.

Elm Grove Sanctuary Trust relies on private donations to enable our charity’s work to continue.
