Before I go on to report on our annual Summer Fair, just a little bit of information.  The EST Centres (The Elizabeth Svendsen Trust for Children & Donkeys) were charities within the main Donkey Sanctuary Charity, but after many years of planning, the two charities have now merged together to become one charity  and  all the EST centres are now under the one main charity of the Donkey Sanctuary.   They were officially merged on the 1st January 2012.

The iconic structure Smeaton’s Tower lighthouse was lit up for this very special occasion. [Read more…] about Olympic Torch on Plymouth Hoe 19/5/2012
