Donkeys find loving home as site grows

Knowle Donkey Sanctuary opened in August 2024 but was “kept quiet” until owner Mark Roberts felt it would be able to cater to families.

Since then, the five-donkey site has delighted hundreds of families, local care home residents and children with additional needs - and it is completely free so the community can access the benefits of fresh air and animals. The sanctuary, in Knowle in Solihull, was set up by Mark at the start of 2024, before officially opening to the public in August.
