Our most recent financial review
2023 has been an important year for The Donkey Sanctuary with the launch of our new five-year strategy, which is already giving us an even sharper focus on our mission to improve the lives of donkeys everywhere, every day. In spite of external challenges including the cost-of-living crisis and the climate emergency, we achieved some of our most significant successes for donkeys to date, and these spur us on in our continuing work.
In 2023, we made huge strides to protect and transform the lives of donkeys, including more than 6,500 donkeys and mules in our care. Of those, more than 4,400 were cared for in our sanctuaries across Europe, while more than 2,100 were cared for by our Donkey Guardians, to whom we are immensely grateful.
During the year, more than 250 donkeys were brought into our care, and we supported the rehoming of a further 250 donkeys via our Guardian scheme and supported moves in the UK, Ireland, Spain and Italy.
