The Freshfields Michael Elliott Trust is situated in the Peak District in Derbyshire and was founded in 1991.

The unique charity not only rescues and cares for donkeys which have been abandoned, mistreated or neglected but also provides a holiday centre where children with special needs can choose a donkey to help take care of during their visit. Invariably, child and donkey form a close relationship of trust and affection which is of great therapeutic value to them both.

Having adopted two donkeys called Compo and Emily, I decided that I would paint an image that shows the great work they do at the trust and donate the proceeds from the sales of the artwork to Freshfields to raise much needed funds.
