Hip, hip hooray for 2024!
Thank you all for your patience following the MD’s hip replacement back in February. She is making a good recovery, supported by two new members of staff, and of course, our amazing volunteer team.
Our visits so far this year have been a wonderful mix of revisiting old friends and places, and meeting new friends across Norfolk, Suffolk, East Cambridgeshire and North Essex. We have made so many people happy, rekindled old memories and made new ones.
It is great that we are super-busy, but the downside is that we are now fully booked for visits in 2024.
If you are looking to book a MiniDonk visit for 2025 please email us, or fill in the booking form and a member of our team will be in touch.
Thank you to everyone who supports our work and helps to spread the MiniDonk love.
What do we do?
We bring our gentle and friendly miniature donkeys to your community group, voluntary organisation, dementia group or special needs group.
We are based in South Norfolk and operate across Norfolk, Suffolk, East Cambridgeshire and North Essex. Basically, we visit anywhere where a mood boosting donkey visit would help people with their wellbeing.
If you want our donkeys to come to a Wedding, Private Party, Event or even a Funeral we can do that too.
Why do we do it?
Having worked with family carers professionally and having been a family carer for two parents with dementia, the group’s founder knows firsthand how stress can be relieved by spending time with these beautiful animals.
Sarah lost her mum to dementia in April 2017 and took the decision to set up a social enterprise to bring the benefits of interacting with mini donkeys to as wide an audience as possible.
How do you book a visit?

Our visits do book up quite quickly and if you have a specific date in mind (wedding, summer fete, special birthday) call us to reserve your date. Bookings are confirmed on receipt of a completed booking form.
