The decision to close Sanctuary Mansfield has been made. It’s been a very difficult decision. We have worked tirelessly in the background to hopefully make the site profitable.
I have also made the tough decision to leave the business and step down as one of the directors. I want to thank Tom and Shaun for the opportunity to become part of the management team. 2026 was always going to about getting balance, spending more time with family and friends and focusing a little more on studying, which is a main priority.
I work in the industry because I am passionate about helping people and I love the job. But after recent events I have questioned my position. I am currently unsure what the future looks like and what I will do.
I know I am deeply sorry for the members who will be affected by this decision. The community and friendship at the site has always been a huge selling point of Mansfield. It’s what kept me with the management team in the business.
I will always pop in and see you for coffee etc. Always happy to help with anything.
To the team and coaches thanks for everything, Sanctuary has been a huge part of my life and thought I would be part of it until I was in a wheelchair. It’s been amazing. I wish you all the best for the future and will keep in touch and pop and see you when I can.
Thank you and all the best.
