Minidonk Makers

Our ‘Minidonk Makers’ are a unique group of people who support our not for profit social enterprise by donating not only their time but also the materials to make items for us to sell at public events. For those who find it harder to access materials we provide them – ensuring that the items made are of safe and merchandisable quality. All the money raised through sales goes towards providing ‘mood boosting’ visits by our group of adorable miniature donkeys to those who have life limiting conditions.

Currently we are developing the idea of working in tandem with local ‘crafters’ giving them the opportunity to come and sell some of their wares at a number of the larger public events we attend. As a trial in 2022 we are asking for just 15% of their takings to enable them to have a free selling platform – providing them with the opportunity of developing a bigger sales footprint that would be unattainable working independently.

Also we are looking to develop links with local businesses who may wish to make a donation in order for us to secure some of the materials we need or who sell the materials we need to make a variety of our merchandise… for either donations of materials or significant discounts – listing their support at our larger merchandising events and giving them a shout out on our Facebook Page which can reach over 60,000 views.
