Sangha Care Resources
Welcome to Sangha Care Resources
A starting point for support and resources that are available to current and former students of SL.
As a gesture of support and with an understanding for the many emotions and issues that could arise for individuals as a result of reading the letter to SL of 14th July, 2017 we are listing some resources and helpful links.
​
These resources are not exhaustive and we do not endorse any of the listed organisations. We simply offer them as a starting point because we have either found them beneficial for ourselves, or because they come highly recommended through a couple of trusted charitable networks.
