Get knitting for The Donkey Sanctuary
Some of the 'woolleys' that have been knitted already.
Since they first arrived at the Sanctuary, the adorable knitted donkeys have been growing in popularity every year. They are knitted by supporters and then sold in both the Sanctuary visitors’ centre and via the online gift shop to raise funds to support the charity.
Community fundraising manager, Marian Gumbrell, says “We are thrilled with the success of these lovable characters; our amazing supporters have shown, once again, they can literally turn their hands to anything. Due to the overwhelming success of our knitted donkeys, we now need more supporters to get knitting and help raise money for the work that we do providing sanctuary for needy donkeys.”
