Running the Sanctuary
What does it cost?
"Any donation helps us to look after our rescued animals."
We are proud to provide the best possible care and welfare at the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, but this does come at a cost. We have many things that go into our work, and these can range from costing us £5 for some eye drops, all the way to thousands of pounds for field shelters and barns. We are able to provide all of these because of our generous supporters.
