We have expanded our range of gifts, produced more Christmas cards to suit all tastes and, at your request, have a slimline calendar in addition to the popular larger calendar. Your help through purchasing our gifts and cards is invaluable. If you order more than one pack of cards, the cost per pack is less! For a full range of christmas cards and other gift ideas for your friends and family, please visit our online giftshop.
Winter warmth
First thing first... you may all remember that my best friend was taken into hospital and after receiving all the get well messages from you, Lady is feeling better and almost back to her normal self. Occasionally I wander off to bray with the other donkeys and catch up with the latest news, but am never far from her side.
Will you marry me?
That was the question Paul Frostwick from Norfolk asked his girlfriend on Saturday with the help of two special donkeys!
Farm worker/Groom
We have a full time vacancy for a Farm worker/Groom at Town Barton Farm in Tedburn St Mary to work with our existing team of staff who provide care for our resident donkey and mule population.
Charente distress
At the end of August we were contacted about a donkey with an appalling eye infection in the Charante region of France. This is nearly 5 hours north of our French holding base.
EST adoption donkeys
The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST) is the sister charity of The Donkey Sanctuary. To help fund the work of the EST, the Adopt a Donkey scheme was set up. Each of the centres has a selection of donkeys available for adoption.
