Dame Judi Dench We were shocked and delighted when national treasure Dame Judi Dench paid us a surprise visit to our sanctuary in August 2022! We were even more delighted when Judi agreed to be our Patron. She fell in love with Lolita, one of our baudet du poitou donkeys and adopted her after spending some time with her and having lots of cuddles. Judi is known for her love of animals and support for endangered wildlife; for both organisations in the UK and overseas and when we asked if she would like to become a patron of our charity she said: “I'd be honoured… who wouldn't!” What a lovely thing to say. |
Harry Redknapp
We are absolutely delighted to announce animal lover Harry Redknapp

This is what Harry had to say:
"Meet Harry the donkey, my new friend down at The Flicka Foundation Donkey Sanctuary in Penryn, Cornwall. Harry is one of the many animals that's cared for by this fantastic sanctuary - and I'm so pleased to be a new Patron of the charity"

Adrian Rawlins
We had a visit from film and TV icon, Adrian Rawlins, in summer 2023!
Adrian and his family spent several hours visiting the donkeys and we were so pleased when this wonderful man agreed to give his patronage. This is what he had to say:
“I was honoured to be asked to become a patron after spending a delightful morning making friends with some beautiful donkeys as well as the lovely staff who are doing such brilliant work at the Flicka Foundation. I really recommend a visit, it’ll put a smile on your face.”
