Why leave a legacy?

Why your support makes a difference

Two-thirds of our work is only possible because of the kindness of those who leave a gift in their will.

A gift in your will, whatever its size, will make a profound difference to donkeys in need. Wherever a donkey is, and whenever they need help, remembering donkeys in your will means you’ll be forever by their side.

Together we can care for more abandoned and abused donkeys and find them permanent, safe and secure homes in the UK.

Overseas, your generosity can help to transform the lives of millions of donkeys faithfully supporting families and communities in low income and developing countries.

Many of our supporters find that leaving a gift in their will is a natural way to continue their lifelong support. By leaving this special gift, you can help make sure suffering donkeys always get the care they need.

Why I'm leaving a gift in my will

Anne’s story

“Donkeys are the sweetest, gentlest and most intelligent and hardworking animals on the planet. Sadly, they are also some of the most ill-used and unappreciated.

Knowing that I can help donkeys in their hour of need means the world to me. I’m so proud to be helping donkeys through my support. Leaving a gift in my will felt like a natural continuation of that really. Once I’d made that decision, changing my will couldn’t have been simpler.

It truly gives me a warm feeling knowing that, after I’m gone, my love for donkeys will live on through the gift I’m leaving in my will. They’ve given me so much pleasure in my life, so it feels right that they should be a part of my legacy.”
