Welcome to Vale Wildlife Hospital, where we treat over 7,500 wildlife casualties every year.
We are available by phone from 7am – 5pm daily for help and advice concerning sick, injured or orphaned wildlife.
The hospital is staffed 24/7 so casualties can be brought to us at any time,
24 hrs a day (no need to ring first).
YOU CAN CALL US BETWEEN 7am – 5pm ON: 01386 882 288
Unfortunately we are no longer able to COME OUT to large mammal casualties
DURING THE NIGHT, although they can still be brought in.
WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR SUPPORT – PLEASE HELP

In 2022 we treated 7,542 casualties, our 2nd highest annual figure in our 39 year history.
The current cost of living crisis is having a huge impact on us and many other charities.
We cannot pass on the rising costs to our ‘customers’ as other businesses are having to do as we do not make any charge for the service we offer,
instead we rely on the support and generosity of the public to enable us to continue our work, as we have done for the past 39 years.
Our service is needed more than ever before as our wildlife increasingly suffers due to human increase and encroachment.
We desperately need more support to raise over £60,000 monthly running costs (£1,972 PER DAY) –
we are not funded by the government or any other organisation.

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.
