The Donkey Sanctuary has launched a new five year project that will look at the life cycle of donkeys in the UK and Ireland and the encouragement of responsible ownership.
The Sanctuary aims to see a reduction in the number of donkeys suffering due to poor welfare or abandonment. To identify the factors affecting such welfare, they need to understand donkey ownership and the reasons for it, why donkeys are rehomed and any gaps in support or education for owners.
As part of this work, the Sanctuary plans to form a Stakeholder group consisting of people from all sectors and backgrounds who are involved with donkeys.
If any FUW members would be interested in participating, please email Katrina Hammond at
