This group of deserve a LOT of love.⁣
#Pembrokeshire Sanctuary group formed as a rapid response to the hundreds of people being held in the woefully inadequate Penally Barracks.⁣

The local community were horrified. 150+ people came together to offer support & friendship
1/🧵
They organised distributions of supplies, ran classes, befriending sessions, sports & wellbeing trips & coordinated a bike scheme.⁣

In March last year Penally barracks finally closed.⁣

The @ukhomeoffice wanted hostility, but this community made sure that love won.⁣

Now this group feel it's the right time to close their own doors. ⁣
⁣"We are all volunteers. For some it has been the most demanding work of our lives. But the friendships we've made, both with volunteers & with 'the boys' who were once in Penally, will last a lifetime."⁣
