I’m Karen and have been running Donkeys for Therapy and Fun for over 12 years. We have a few special miniature Donkeys and Ponies that have been trained for the use of therapy animals for care homes, nursing homes and SEN schools. Along with our therapy animals we offer event hire for weddings, parties, fetes and any special occasions. Please note no animals can be ridden.

Today we had early start to get to Barroway Drove. Village Hall
The weekly nursery school meeting
The donkeys couldn’t believe the long grass they loved it and the children
So much they decided to head off for the open fields when they should be going home
David and my self In pursuit after them
Then the farmer after us for it being private land
It all happens with the miniature donkeys

* Volunteers Needed!! *

As the Spring weather gradually arrives, our thoughts are turning to the coming months ahead. The Donkeys for Therapy and Fun will be back out on their fundraising walks and much welcomed visits within the local communities. Their diary is already starting to get booked up! Our small team of dedicated volunteers behind the scenes are still working hard towards securing the long term future of these lovable Donkeys and their friends but we need your help!!

☆ Starting straight away, we have volunteer positions to fill on both a Tuesday and a Saturday, to be regular weekly muck pickers at the Donkey's field and stables.

☆We are URGENTLY looking for committed and regular volunteer Donkey walk assistants. This would be walking alongside Karen or (possibly in time) another experienced volunteer. You'd be assisting with everything involved during a Donkey walk experience.
(We must stress, this is NOT a volunteer opportunity to take the donkeys for a walk yourself. You'd be there to assist and support this paid for, fund fundraising experience).

☆We are also potentially looking for volunteers to assist with visits within the local communities or future fundraising events. These would be on an as and when basis but would require you to have the time to be available and commit.

At this present time, we are only really looking for people who can volunteer their time on a regular basis and fully commit to doing so. Please comment if you feel this is you!! 🙂

We have today started our journey of getting the donkeys registered as a charity
This has been a two year challenge for me
We have along way to go however at last I can see light at the end of the tunnel .
Still have to work hard to get this status
With
Walks Events .visits sales and generally getting known . All this has to be done to guarantee our donkeys will always be cared for for the rest of their life .
Hopefully then we can apply for funding like everyone else gets .At the moment myself . Volunteers and the donkeys are having to try our hardest to keep them well cared for .
So we always looking for fundraising ideas
We have to prove to the charity commission this is a viable cause . Once you meet these characters you will just fall in love with them
