Thanks also to all our customers. Without your kind donations there would be no Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary.
I’m not the only one who owes a huge debt of gratitude to Muffin, the sanctuary’s founding resident. When I rescued him it inspired me to change my life, taking it in a direction I never could have predicted. It is directly down to his influence that hundreds of donkeys have had a haven in which to live out the rest of their lives without cruelty, mistreatment or loneliness. I know that all of my residents would thank him for that.
And finally, thank you to Alan. There may be days when I wish he’d just pipe down and behave himself, but without his antics the sanctuary would be a much duller place to be. As well as a heap of stress, he’s brought love and laughter into my life by the bucketload. I wouldn’t have him any other way.
Support Alan
To support Alan and his friends, why not pay them a visit at the Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary?

Tel: 07940 146330 (daytime) or 01507 490864 (evening)
Opening days and times vary throughout the year, so please check on the website before making the trip.
Admission and parking are free, but donations are welcomed. Buying a bucket of carrots to feed the donkeys, or treating yourself to a cup of tea and a slice of cake in the cafe all helps towards the cost of looking after the donkeys and ensuring others in need can be rescued too.
