Registered Charity No: 264818 (England & Wales).

Here at The Donkey Sanctuary, we see just how amazing donkeys are. Highly intelligent, sociable and capable of independent thinking, they make great companions – but they are also misunderstood and undervalued. 

By remembering donkeys in your will, you’re helping to fund our important work and transform the lives of donkeys across the UK, giving them a chance at a life free from suffering and abuse.

Whether supporting the vital work of our sanctuaries, enabling our teams to rescue donkeys in desperate need, or funding life-saving treatments at our specialist donkey hospital, gifts in wills have a hand in everything we do.

Founded in 1969 by the late Dr Elisabeth Svendsen MBE to protect donkeys and mules, The Donkey Sanctuary is funded entirely by donations. We support projects in countries across the globe, and work with partner organisations, NGOs, communities and governments to improve the welfare of donkeys worldwide.

The Donkey Sanctuary’s vision is a world where every donkey has a good quality of life and with your support, that world is one step closer.
