‘I was petrified of donkeys, now I help save them’

After establishing a more permanent residence in Menorca in 2020, the Covid lockdown began within days of their arrival.

When the restrictions were lifted, Jane and Dennis found Menorca Donkey Rescue, a self-funded charity, nearby.

Dennis, 59, said the volunteers were struggling, which led to him and his wife asking if they could help promote the sanctuary.

Since then, they felt “drawn in” and volunteer there every summer.

They help the lady who owns the sanctuary, Gundi Grass, by feeding 17 donkeys and making sure they are well cared for whilst she works full-time.
