What we do:

It was in 1994 that Angela Downham discovered that there was nowhere in Leicestershire for injured or orphaned wildlife to go. And so the leicestershire wildlife hospital was born.

The hospital now takes more than 1,600 patients a year, caring for them, feeding them, nursing them and when they have recovered releasing them back to the wild.

The hospital runs on a completely voluntary basis with helpers collecting injured wildlife in their own time. The animals are ensured the very best of care and looked after all hours – day or night if necessary, with veterinary attention whenever required.

This takes a great deal of money, which has to be raised in any number of ways.

All of our money goes to help our casualties.

The hospital takes from the RSPCA who refer wildlife calls, and is called on by local vets for wildlife cases. We receive no funding other than what we can raise ourselves.

We have now outgrown the premises that currently house the hospital and desperately need your help to raise money to build new, larger premises for the larger and ever increasing number of casualties and orphans.

 

 

 

Can you help us with the Bricks Appeal?

If you could give us just £5 a month or as much as you can afford, by Standing Order, you could make a difference.

Please if you care about wildlife, care enough to help.

To set up a Standing order please download the PDF file found here. Print the PDF file out then fill it in. Then simply send it to your bank.

There is no time too lose.
