REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
ObjectiTr-es and activities ID February 2023, the sanctuary appointed Susan Mccall as the new Chief Executive. succeeding the outgoing Charity Manager who dedicated eleven successful years to ihe role. Susan brings extensive experience from her leadership roles In several charlties. most notably the Rlde High Equine Charity in Milton Keynes, where she specialized in fostering interactions between equlne5 and individua15 Wlth addttional needs. We have set out a clear vlslon for the sanctuary. aligned with our mi55i0n. and developed a three-year strategy to deliver It. our Ml951on 15 to provlde refuge. exceptional care. alld new beginnings for donkeys and other equines in need. Our Vislon is to become the centre of excellence in donkey welfare, dedicated to not only providlng the best POsSlble care but also fostering a deeper connection and understanding between people and our equine companions.
Doiikey welfare improTr-ements Our donkeys are at the forefront of everything we do. We provide a safe and nurturing environment. ensure regular health checks. and prioritise their emotional and social needs by offering ample space, enrichment. and opportunities to socialise with other equines. Each donkey has a customlsed care plan tailored to their specific welfare needs, including diet plans. monthly weigh-ins. body-scoring and conditionlng, medical care. bedding. grooming, exercise. and training. We have l 19 Donkeys. 15 Ponies and 2 Mules. We take pride in the indlvidual little touches we provlde for each herd. such as warming up food for elderly donkeys. using herbal tea in their water to encourage better hydration. providing speclalised bedding o.ptions for our Extra Care herd. and providing freshly steamed hay for Ihose with respiratory Issues. These are just a few example5 of our commltment to give the very best care to our donkeys. We have developed Poppy's Place into a dedicaied care centie for our Special Care donkeys, who have complex health needs. ensuring a safe environment where they have the freedom to roam and enjoy enhanced 5tabllng. The Barn provides ample indoor space for shelter during wet weather and shade during hot days_ Additionally. Ihere are paddock areas in front of and behind the barn. allowing for grazing and sunbathing.
Enhanced facilities for medical treatment In late 2022, we embarked on a fundraisino journey to establish ark equine clinic. and thanks to generous donatiOT15. we raised £125.000. However. in the Spring of 2023, due to economic factors such as high inflation. the cost-of-living crisis. and ever- increasing operating c05t5, we decided to pause and conduct further feasibility studies. We wanted to ensure that Dur plans M*re making the best use of funds. Consequently. we decided to repurpose an existing structure to rehouse the Equine Treatment Centre. significantly reducing construction costs. We now plan to construct an equine rehabilitation barn on the original planning site. including an isolaiion barn at the perlmeter. Thi5 will enabte us to provide the highest level of care for equines requiring isolation for medical treatment or ob5eriation. Strengthening our equine welfare knowledge We ale ded icated to contlnued learning and improvement through an ongoing trainlng program for our Equtne Welfare team, equipping them with the necessary experience, tools and 5UPPOrt_ We have collaborated with local veterinary expert5 and the Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth. who have shared their extensive knowledge and enhanced learning programs for both staff and volunteers. All our Equine Welfare Team are now enrolled in the Donkey Academy. All thls Iraining has led to significant improvements in donkey care. This enhanced understanding of social dynamics and donkey behaviour has resulted in harmoniou5 herds, reducing stre55 and promoting better health.
,Improving the sanctuary environment During 2023. our core objectives were to enhance the environment for our donkeys. staff. and vi5ttors by implementing measurable improvernent5 in estate management and operational efficiencies. We initiated projects to optimise layout. enrich paddocks. improve grazing and pasture conditions. and implement a mud-management program. These effort5 have already resulted in cleaner. more hygienic shelters and pa(Jdock5 and will help to prevent serious hoof problems caused by excessive mud. Additionally, we have created two new paddocks. providing an extra five acres of grazing land. This expansion will help us support the nutritional needs of our growing donkey population and ensure sustainable paddock grazing, allowing us to rotate grazing areas and maintain optimal pasture conditions
Educatioii aiid comniunity tlie£apy We contlnue to foster a deeper understanding of donkeys and their needs by offering enhanced educational programs and resources for visitors. schools. and the wider community. Our guided tours, activities. and educational materials highlight the importance of equine welfare and engage our visitors. These programs offer opportunities for direct interaction. adoption initiatives. and storytelling that bring to life the journey of our equines and the impact of our work. Our commitment to community engagement also extends to providing support for community groups and those in need of special care. In 2023, we hosted visits from veteran group5, dementia support groups and other local community organi5ations. Each visit is carefully tailored to meet the specific needs of the participant5. offering an experience that adds signifiiant value. Additlonally, we bring our donkeys to care home5, hospices. and other facilities whose residents cannot Vislt the sanctuary, allowing them to experience the therapeutic benefits from interacting with our donkeys. These outreach efforts foster emotional connections and enhance the well- being of individuals. demonstrating the p05ttive impact of our work beyond the sanciuary grounds. We are Immensely grateful to have received a National Lottery grant. which allows us to employ a community engagement officer. This SUPPOrt enables us lo further our ongoing community work and extend the benefits of our sanctuary to even more people.
Oiii statt iqiid volunteeLS We employ over 40 staff members and have over 80 dedicated volunteers. Together they ensure that all our equines receive exceptional care every day of the year. Their hard work also alSows us to welcome over 120,000 vi51tors annually to the sanctuary and provide ongoing support to our donors and supporters. OUL goverliaiice We have made significant strides in Improving our operations. focusing on stronger governance In finance. HR, and day-to-day procedures. Comprehensive processes for health and safety, as well as safeguarding. are now firmty in place. Additionally, we have invested in enhanced cybersecurity measures and provided specialised IT securtty training for all staff.
Our donkey fostering scheme Some donkeys who find refuge with u5 are better suited to a quieter. more private environment. Our foster scheme help5 these donkeys find permanent foster homes away from the sanctuary. This might involve fostering out a pair of bonded donkey5 or Joining an existing donkey at the foster home a5 their companion. Each donkey is carefully Matched to an environment that best suits thelr needs. allowing us to provide a more flexible and personalised approach to equine welfare. All routine costs are covered by their foster guardians, while we ensure excellent welfare standards are maintained through regular vi51ts and update report5. To date. we have successfully rehomed our first three donkeys. each of whom is thriving in their smaller group environment. Veterinary care We contlnue to work very closely with our local veterinary practice, holding regular care meetings and using 'live' medication boards to ensure rigorous treatment protocols are upheld. These boards are updated daily based on the latest veterinary advice. ensuring each donkey receives the most appropriate care promptly.
In 2023, we forged strong relationships and c105e collaboration with The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, renowned for theif world-class veterinary care. Their vets schedule regular visits to our site. sharing their extensive knowledge with our equine welfare team and local vets to promote the health and welfare of our equines. We greatly appreciate their continued support. Additionally, we malntain a close partnershlp wilh Liphook Equine Hospital. which provides speciali5ed sUPPOrt and treatment for our equines requlrlng more complex operations and procedures that cannot be performed on the i51and. A prime example of this collaborati(b is Theo's case. Theo. suffering from severe colic. was urgentty iransferred to Liphook for surgery, accompanied by his best friend. Noah. Multlple operations and emergency blood transfusions, facilitated by our team and supported by donor donkeys, saved Theo's life. This story highlights the critical role of our veterinary partners in ensuring the well-being of ou r donkeys. 10

Income and Expenditure Analysls In 2023. we experienced a s light reduction in income primarily due to decreased legacies. which reduced from £579.553 to £506.652. However. IM05t of this shortfall was offset by increased fund5 from other sources.
