    Story

    Many Miles for Minidonks

    Many Miles for MiniDonks is inspired by MinDonks super-supporter Ian Hytch, who has set himself the challenge of walking 80 miles in 8 days in his 80th year. Ian is walking in memory of his friend Dr. Nick Ireland who sadly died in an accident before he could join Ian in his challenge. Ian’s walk will finish on Saturday 26th June in Cromer, where our wonderful Miniature Donkeys will be waiting to meet him. All our friends and supporters are invited to come along and have some fun.

    To help Ian reach his target of £5,000 we’re asking people to get moving and help us cover Many Miles for MiniDonks: raising money for a series of MiniDonks Pop-up Farm Experiences. We love visiting care homes and other residential settings, and our hope is that the MiniDonks Pop-Up Farm Experiences will allow even more people with life-limiting conditions to get up close and personal with our wonderful herd of miniature donkeys, plus lots of other animals. We know that spending time with animals can bring genuine therapeutic benefits and moments of pure joy to people living with complex disabilities and conditions such as dementia. It’s our mission to bring a touch of MiniDonk magic to as many communities as possible.

      We are delighted to say that we have exceeded our target thanks to Ian's heroic efforts and the help of the Flute family with their 500 mile target, and your generous donations. We have been asked to keep the page open for further donations. Your support means that we will be able to run at least 5 Minidonk Pop Up Farm events which will be free to access for anyone with special needs, mental health issues or life limiting condition. Sharing special moments like this!

      We are so close! Ian is still walking, and we are at £3, 850 raised so far. You are all amazing and thank you to those who have donated. If you haven't please make a donation. The interactions between our donkeys and the residents of care homes and other settings are truly inspirational, as Ian witnessed half way through his walk yesterday at two care homes in Wells Next The Sea. Please help us to spread even more Minidonk Magic. Thank you!

      Wow!. We have reached a quarter of our target. You are amazing - thank you! This means that the first of our Minidonk pop-up farm events will be happening. We have a venue, which will have free parking, fully accessible disabled toilet facilities, fully accessible grounds. We have our social enterprise partners ready to roll with their mobile farm (pygmy goats, sheep, chickens, ducks and more), wellbeing activities and of course, The Minidonks. All free of charge for people with life limiting conditions, special needs or mental health issues.
