Family Fun Day (TEENS EVENT)

The Big Cat Sanctuary, Headcorn Rd, Smarden, Ashford TN27 8PJ

"The event was extraordinary,  well organised and the people were welcoming and kind. I felt isolated before joining teens unite, having not met people with similar situations. Now I know there’s hope and am at ease ."

15 young people and their families were invited to join Teens Unite at the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, for one of our eagerly awaited Family fun days! These days are an opportunity for parents, siblings and family members to join us for an incredible day, creating magical memories as a family, and having the chance to meet other families in a similar situation. 

We began the day with an incredible introduction to the work of the sanctuary, learning all about the conservation of the cats and the various type of species. Everyone then involved in a (very competitive) game of balloon toss! This gave everyone the chance to relax a little, and energise ahead of the day.

The group then had the chance to see the amazing animals up close during a private tour, even getting an exclusive view of the veterinary room. The tour guides were brimming with facts about the animals and ensured that everyone had the perfect view of the beautiful animals. 

In true Teens Unite style, we ended the day with lunch, where everyone had the chance to get to know one another a bit better. Everyone then had the chance to wander around the zoo as a family, and take a final look at their favourite big cats.

This was an amazing day, and we can not wait to host our next family fun day!

By taking part, everyone was able to: 

  • Reduce feelings of loneliness and isoolation
  • Enjoy a new experience
  • Interact and socialise with others who get what you’re going through
  • Enjoy valuable time and create memories as a family
  • Learn more about conservation and big cats!
