In May 2019 LINC opened the Sanctuary Garden in Sandford Park. Through time, fundraising and love, a really special place was created in the heart of Cheltenham for cancer patients and their families as well as the wider community to use and enjoy.

We were absolutely devastated to discover that this beautiful space was vandalised over the weekend and eight of the standing yew trees have been stolen. Huge gaping holes have been left.

The stunning carved memorial bench also has graffiti on it.

We are now trying to raise money to replace these trees - we will not be beaten by mindless thieves.
