How Does Adopting a Donkey Help?

An adoption lasts for one year and helps towards the costs of our charity - The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys

We have six centres based around the UK (Sidmouth, Leeds, Ivybridge, Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast) each of which provides riding therapy to children with special needs and disabilities as well as taking the donkeys into residential homes, hospices and schools.

A year's adoption of your chosen donkey will cost just £16*. For this you will receive a folder containing a Certificate of Adoption, details of your adopted donkey with colour picture, and a lovely A4 pencil drawing. After six months we will then send a letter updating you on what your donkey has been doing.

(A DVD of the donkey group and interview with the late Dr Svendsen is also available to buy.)

*The adoption fee includes a donational element
