Charity The Donkey

anctuary

Established The Donkey

anctuary was founded

as a charity in 1969 by Dr

Elisabeth Svendsen MBE.

What do you do?

I steward all our wonderful supporters who

fundraise for The Donkey Sanctuary. I’m here

to help with all their needs, from supplying

our donkey knitting and crochet patterns to

fundraising packs. I am always happy to support

people along their fundraising journey. From

knitting and baking, to running or even skydiving,

our fundraisers are fantastic! However, one of

my favourite parts of the job is receiving the

parcels from our crafters, as each one is unique,

special and made with love.

What can we do to help? People can support

The Donkey Sanctuary by knitting Woolley

and crocheting Neddy the donkeys. All the

information needed, plus free patterns, is

available on The Donkey Sanctuary’s website:

http://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/support-us/

get-involved/get-crafty or by contacting the

fundraising team on the number below. The

Woolleys can then be sent to the charity’s

international headquarters in Devon where

they will be distributed to its shops or sold at

fundraising events. The donkeys are sold as

collectables, not toys, and are labelled as such

by The Donkey Sanctuary.

Latest fundraising news The London

Marathon is a big event in our calendar and this

year one of our supporters who specialises in

making character Neddys for our charity, made

some of our runner’s a Neddy wearing a running

vest in Donkey Sanctuary colours, with each

runner’s number embroidered on to their back.

They were a wonderful sight to see all lined up.

Without our fundraisers and supporters we

would not be able to fulfil our vision – to see a

world where donkeys and mules live free from

suering, and their contribution to humanity is

fully valued.
