The Donkey Sanctuary Manchester

In May we proposed the closure of our Donkey Assisted Activity (DAA) centres in Manchester, Ivybridge, Birmingham and Leeds, and for Belfast to become a small sanctuary and re-homing centre.

This proposal was made to ensure we can make the best use of our donors’ money and effectively reach the millions of donkeys who desperately need our support, in the UK and around the world.

After a period of consultation, no changes have been made to these proposals. The four centres have now closed, and Belfast will soon reopen as a small sanctuary and rehoming centre.

Our main site in Sidmouth, Devon, remains open as always to visitors and we thank you for your continued support.
