Rescuing and caring for our donkeys does cost money. A bale of hay can cost £5.00, a farrier treatment £30.00, and an operation can cost several thousand pounds. We are a voluntary organisation and we have to raise all the money that our donkeys need through our own fundraising.
Our adoption scheme is our most important fundraising cause. An adoption is a suggested minimum donation of £25.00 per year; it can be done
online here, by phone or in person at the Sanctuary. This is a vital scheme which generates the money for vets, farriers, and of course their feed, hay and straw.
Make your donations go further. For every £1, we can claim an extra 25p in tax to help care for all our animals.
One of the easiest ways you can donate is via Paypal. If you don't have an account, it's super easy to set up.
