Elisabeth Svendsen TrustMeet donkeys at Vue cinema in Plymouth this weekend!
Two donkeys from a Devon donkey-riding therapy charity will be greeting filmgoers of the new Shrek Forever After movie this Saturday (3rd July 2010) at the Vue cinema in Plymouth (at the Barbican Leisure Park) between 10am and 4pm.
Boomer and Wayne, from the Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST) centre at Filham Park in Ivybridge, will be in a pen just outside the cinema entrance for all to see, either before or after the films are shown. Their attendance will help promote the charity’s good work throughout Ivybridge, Plymouth and the South Hams.
The charity needs to publicise its work and find people to adopt its donkeys to raise funds. It relies entirely on donations to provide donkey-riding therapy to over 150 children with special needs and disabilities at its centre every week, and carry out therapeutic visits for elderly people in over 100 local nursing/residential homes.
EST has four adorable donkeys that the public can adopt, including Wayne who will be at the Vue Cinema on Saturday. The cost of each adoption is £16.00 and the money raised helps support the work of the charity.
