Our favourite charity Christmas cards
The Donkey Sanctuary
It’s hard to resist the long floppy ears and soft velvety muzzle of a donkey. This Christmas, support donkeys all over the world by purchasing a Christmas card from The Donkey Sanctuary.
The Donkey Sanctuary has 10 sanctuaries around the UK and Europe, providing lifelong care to more than 7000 donkeys and mules. Along with this, The Donkey Sanctuary also works overseas to transform the lives of 1.8 million donkeys and mules in 38 countries. The organisation’s work not only saves donkeys from abuse or neglect, but also helps to support the people who depend on them for their livelihood.
What’s more, this fabulous organisation has a number of gorgeous charity Christmas cards. We especially love Winter on the Farm. This charming snowy scene features donkeys, a dog, a cat and pheasant meeting over a farm gate.
