At The Donkeys all of the revenue raised from activities is spent on the donkeys — there are no expensive admin staff or directors!
Our main costs are feed, hay and straw, bedding, farrier costs (their feet are trimmed every 10 weeks) and the upkeep of fencing, shelters and the water supply.
As a not for profit organisation, any surplus funds at the end of the year are donated to donkey related charities. You can help simply by coming to one of our experiences — or in any of the ways below.
Thank you for your support.
Adopt a donkey yourself, or as a gift for somebody else, for £3 a month or £36 a year. Here is what comes with it:
Tell us which donkey you would like to sponsor and we will set it up with you directly.
Once our charity registration is complete, Gift Aid will add 25% to your sponsorship at no cost to you.
Every penny goes on the care, food, shelter and welfare of the donkeys, and any surplus at the end of the year goes to donkey charities working further afield. However large or small, we are grateful for it.
Make a donationSponsorship from individuals and organisations is what pays for the bigger things — concreting the yard, fencing, a trailer. If you or your company would like to help, with money or with time, we would love to hear from you.
Talk to us about sponsoringWe are always on the look out for help — donkey welfare, mucking out, poo picking, feeding, cleaning the yard, or looking after visitors on event days. No experience needed, just a willingness to get muddy.
