On Sunday 28th April 2019, our assistant manager
Jeff Wood will be running in the Virgin London
Marathon to raise vital funds for Vale Wildlife
Hospital. He has been fitting in all his training in
between helping to ensure the smooth running of
the wildlife hospital.
We will all be cheering him on
(whilst hand-feeding dozens of baby animals)
on the day.
So far he has raised over £2,000.
Please show your support for Jeff and for Vale by
adding to his sponsorship.

The UK’s wildlife faces more problems today than ever before and unfortunately most of these problems are caused by people. A vast majority of the casualties we treat at Vale have sustained their injuries through coming into contact with humans: road traffic accidents, cat and dog attacks, fence injuries, mower and strimmer incidents, habitat loss, building work, new roads, snares, the list is endless. Some people say that injured wildlife should be left alone, we shouldn’t interfere but should ‘let nature take it’s course’. I would agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment if indeed the problems encountered by our wildlife were ‘natural’ but very few are, and I believe we have a duty to try to put right the damage that we are doing.
