They have now been shortlisted for the Charity Awards 2025:
The Sidmouth-based charity has been recognised in the Campaigning & Advocacy category for its Stop the Slaughter – End the Donkey Skin Trade campaign.

The Donkey Sanctuary, along with its partners and allies, is leading a global movement to protect these animals and the communities that rely on them.

Awards judge Martin Edwards, CEO of Julia’s House, said the charity’s campaign had an important environmental impact beyond reducing animal cruelty, “because preserving animals in local families is the most environmentally friendly way of farming”.
