A donkey welfare charity received more donations in a single year than four leading domestic abuse charities combined, new figures show. Data from the Charity Commission register reveals that four domestic abuse charities – Women’s Aid, Refuge, IDAS and SafeLives – together raised far less money through donations than The Donkey Sanctuary.
The four domestic abuse charities received a total of £11.3m during the 2022-2023 financial year, while The Donkey Sanctuary was the recipient of £51.7m in 2022. The statistics emerged as The Independent joined up with the charity Refuge in an effort to raise £300,000 to build a safe house for survivors of domestic abuse, as part of the Brick by Brick campaign.
