Major Gifts - Petplan Charitable Trust Grant

20 April 2022

Petplan Charitable Trust's grant helped us provide extra accommodation

We are incredibly grateful to the Petplan Charitable Trust who granted us £10,000 to help build a new barn to accommodate the growing number of donkeys in our care.


Their grant helped us provide urgently needed shelter for donkeys like Phantom, who came to us because his Mum died when he was just 6 months old.  It also helped house the 16 donkeys rescued from the slaughterhouse in France, who now have a happy life with us here at the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary.
