Local housebuilder adopts donkeys in time for Christmas!

Leading local housebuilder, David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, has adopted the three donkeys at The Donkey Sanctuary in Eccup, close to its Bodington Manor development in Adel, just in time for Christmas.

David Wilson Homes has adopted Billy O, Ripple and William D at the sanctuary, which rehabilitates and re-homes donkeys in need and primarily provides support for disabled children through therapy with these animals.

Dan Hardcastle, Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West commented:

“At David Wilson Homes we’re committed to working with existing communities in the areas where we build and The Donkey Sanctuary close to Bodington Manor is a special place for many people in the area, so we’re thrilled to have been able to adopt the three donkeys there, in time for Christmas.”

Caroline Armstrong, Centre co-ordinator at the Donkey Sanctuary, in Leeds, commented:

“We’re very grateful to David Wilson Homes at Bodington Manor for adopting our donkeys at Eccup – they are wonderful animals and are often mistreated or neglected, and we are very proud of the work we do with our additional needs and disabled children in the area through animal therapy, which enhances the lives of the donkeys and children alike.”

In addition to adopting Billy O Ripple and William D, staff at David Wilson Homes’ Yorkshire West head office is playing Father Christmas this December and taking part in the ‘Giving Tree’ initiative to support disadvantaged children. The ‘Giving Tree’ supports the charity KidsOut, which aims to continuously make a difference to disadvantaged children, and provide presents to those not fortunate enough to receive them every year. David Wilson Homes’ employees are being encouraged to choose a gift tag from the Giving Tree and buy a present for a child, to be collected by the KidsOut team ahead of Christmas Day.

Bodington Manor is a beautiful development of four and five bedroom detached family homes in a secluded woodland setting with fantastic links to the motorways and Leeds Bradford airport. Prices start at £499,995.
