Happy New Year to All our Supporters

We cannot thank you all enough for the support that you have given to Vale Wildlife Hospital – without this we quite simply wouldn’t be here today.

2023 was a tough year for everyone and the charity has felt this as much, if not more, than most.

Our costs have risen massively to a point where, very worryingly, our expenses are now exceeding our income. Those of you who have been supporters for many years will remember the difficult financial times we encountered in the early days, finding ourselves on the brink of closure on more than one occasion.

We thought that those days were behind us but sadly last year has showed us that Vale is still in a very vulnerable position.

 We will therefore be urging everyone to help us out in 2024 (our 40th Anniversary year) to make sure that we can continue to treat and rehabilitate the increasing number of casualties that are brought in to us.

Please donate, organise a fundraiser, recruit people to our Membership scheme or simply spread the word about the work that we do and the costs involved (current running costs are almost £2,000 every day).

Thank you again for your continued support and we hope that you enjoyed your Christmas and that 2024 brings you everything you wish for.

If you can pass this on to anyone who may be able to help, here are some options for how to donate:

A single or regular donation can also be made through Charities Aid Foundation (by direct debit, card or Paypal) at CAF donate or through Paypal (card or Paypal account) at Paypal donate

PLEASE HELP US TO CONTINUE HELPING BRITAIN’S WILDLIFE

We are onlyDonate-Button-DFA able to continue the work that we do with the help of public support. We do not receive any funding towards the £60,000 monthly running costs so donations are a vital form of income for the charity. Please click the ‘Donate’ button if you would like to give an immediate single donation or to set up a regular direct debit (through Charities Aid Foundation).

If you are a UK taxpayer, don’t forget to fill in a Gift Aid declaration which will enable us to claim a further 25p in every £1 given (follow the link at the bottom of this page).

Becoming a Member of Vale Wildlife Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre keeps you up-to-date with what is going on in the hospital, the casualties undergoing treatment and the stories of some of the rescues we have been involved with. Members receive regular Newsletters full of information about the casualties coming into the Hospital, articles on various wildlife species, details of upcoming fundraising events plus much more.

As a paid-up member you are also able to have a ‘behind the scenes’ look at what goes on within the hospital (by arrangement). For obvious reasons we are not open to the public (this would be extremely detrimental to the well-being of the wild animals in our care) so this is the only opportunity, apart from our occasional Open Days, to see what actually goes on on a day-to-day basis, watch our staff, vet and volunteers at work and see the hundreds of animals that are receiving care.

Our Members are vital to us, giving us a regular income and helping to fund all the work that we do at Vale.

Paying your subscription by direct debit or standing order also saves us precious funds, as does having your Newsletters delivered by email rather than by snail mail.

Membership costs just £20 per year (£12.50 for Senior Citizens) Lifetime Membership is £250.00.

If you would like to become a Member of Vale please click here to join and pay online now.

Paying a Membership subscription or donating regularly by direct debit saves us both time & resources. Please consider setting up a direct debit here

If you are a UK taxpayer please complete a Gift Aid declaration to enable us to claim 25p for every £1 that you give. Click here to complete a declaration online.
