Donkey therapy: Man turns volunteer to thank sanctuary

A man who received "donkey therapy" as a young child has returned to volunteer at the sanctuary which helped him.

Francis Edwards, who has complex physical disabilities, attended a support programme at the Donkey Sanctuary Leeds and says it helped him build his core body strength.

The charity's donkey-facilitated learning programme now helps vulnerable adults and children to develop life skills by connecting with donkeys on an emotional and physical level.

The 22-year-old from Leeds is now helping the sanctuary provide therapy services.
