Wild Things Rescue
Wild Things Rescue is a registered charity (1190933) based in Lincolnshire. We work hard to try and help as many sick, injured and orphaned wild animals as possible. But to do this we need your help!
We operate using a fostering system which enables more stressed animals such as rabbits, hares and birds of prey to be kept in completely isolated, quiet conditions. This year we have opened our very first wildlife centre near Boston! Over time this will become our base and will mean we can have volunteers on site to help with and learn about wildlife.
Wild Things Rescue also has a lovely release site where we are able to ensure that animals are well adapted to the wild, in huge, spacious enclosures, before they regain their freedom. Our release site also has facilities for volunteers which was funded by the National Lottery, to allow us to spend more time there and care for the animals better.
Our charity is run entirely on donation and we really need your help to keep going. The cost of running a wildlife rescue is incredibly high and we need to raise approximately £2000 per month to keep going.
Costs we need to cover include:
- Vets bills - medications, examinations and procedures.
- Food bills - making sure everyone is well fed! Some emergency care food is very expensive!
- Disposable items - needles, syringes and gloves. These items help us to maintain good biosecurity.
- Rent and utilities - Over the next few years we aim for our centre to become a vital central point for wildlife casualties in Lincolnshire.
- Fundraising - believe it or not, even fundraising costs us money!!
We really need your help to keep going, so that we can continue to help our wild friends!
These are our statistics from last year! We took in 854 animals and 52 different species! This is significantly more than we took in in 2020. As we continue to grow as a charity and our resources grow too, we are able to offer more and better spaces for our patients.
If you can offer anything at all, even £1, it all helps!
