A Creative Health and Wellbeing Hub at the former Sanderstead library building.

The Story Sanctuary is our new community space — a warm, creative place where people can come together to share stories, make things, move, sing, and connect. We believe stories, in all their forms, help us understand each other — and that being creative helps us stay well.

We’re building it with local people: art and crafts, gardening and yoga, gentle social gatherings, and moments of calm. Whether you love words, pictures, music, or simply good company, there’s space for you here. The Story Sanctuary will grow into a welcoming spot for everyone — including our neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities — a kind, creative place where everyone can feel at ease.
