We are a rescue centre based on the Isle of Wight and provide a forever home for any donkey in need.
There is plenty to see and do here at the sanctuary, and there is always something going on! Come and visit us, take part in the activity sheets or interactions, grab a bite to eat, and of course see all of our donkeys and ponies!
In 1987, a local postman, Charlie, 'came by' a donkey (Dillon, pictured above), and set up some land on the outskirts of Newport, at Betty Haunt Lane. He and his wife, Cheryl, bought the piece of land and from then onwards people left rescued and abandoned donkeys with them.
In 1991 the Sanctuary was registered as a charity and in 1994, we re-located to its current site, here in Wroxall. The charity just about ticked over with generous donations from the public, but it was hard work!
