To provide injured and unwanted animals with health care to improve and thrive. For wild animals our goal is to be rescued, rehabilitated, or relocated then retu

rned to the wild. We also want to bring in education to our site, as prodomonately vegan staff we try to reduce animal cruelty as best we can and providing children and young adults with a understanding of biodiversity will benefit British wildlife and the appreciation of all its species. We provide training also and work experience to bring more people into wildlife rehabilitation and further their careers in animal care. We have a triage unit, visiting onsite vet, hospital room and rehabilitation facalities along with long term care for domestics and over 40acres of land for hacking and soft release. We accept donations in form of money, food, medical supplies, housing, use of your time, anything that's beneficial for the animals or rescue.

More wonderful and much-needed donations for the hospital. ❤️

I genuinely can’t put into words how much the kindness and support we’ve received lately has meant to us. There have been so many moments where I’ve found myself shedding a tear at the generosity of complete strangers.
Running the hospital is incredibly rewarding, but it’s also incredibly difficult. So much of what we’re able to do relies on the kindness of others, whether that’s donations, supplies, time, sharing our posts or simply supporting what we do. We know that’s a huge thing to ask of people, especially when everyone has their own struggles and responsibilities.

So please know that nothing is ever taken for granted. Every single item, every donation and every little act of kindness genuinely makes a difference to us and, most importantly, to the animals who come through our doors.
We are always so, so incredibly grateful. Thank you for continuing to help us keep going

We need a BIG favour!

We’re currently in dire need of someone with a van or trailer who may be able to help transport two of these units for our hospital.
The only little catch… they’re all the way in Ipswich 😇😅
If anyone happens to be heading that way, or could possibly help us with collection and transport, we’d be incredibly grateful. Even if you can’t help personally, a share might just reach someone who can!

Please drop us a message if you might be able to help

We bought these ICU units a little while ago, thanks to some incredibly generous donations.

Here are two of them in our hedgehog room.

We also have a range of Brinsea TLC units, including 6 portable units, 2 small, 1 medium and 1 large. They’ve served us really well, but we decided to invest in these larger ICU units because donations go much further with them.

Each unit has dual temperature controls, humidity control, built in thermostats and fans, giving us much more flexibility when caring for sick, injured and vulnerable mammals or baby birds.

Equipment like this makes a huge difference to the care we can provide. We simply couldn’t make investments like these without the generosity of those who donate and support our work esp for our foster carers who the equipment means greater success during the weaning process and acclimation which is a important step in the rehabilitation process.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible.

A big shout out to the wonderful Tanya.
Every few months, Tanya collects donations from kind locals and ferries them over to us as one big collective donation. Help like this is so valuable to us and makes such a difference.
This time we’ve received towels, dried insects, kitten food and a really good amount of it too.
A huge thank you to Tanya and to everyone who kindly donated. We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support and for thinking of the animals in our care.

Big thank you for the donations that lead to these wall posters (designed by myself) being put up finally (for aiding new staff) and a new batch of cage sheets as we ran out. The holders were donated by Bernadette

Thank you all 🙏

It’s been a very stressful and complicated few weeks, so we want to start by saying a huge thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support.
It can be easy to forget that we’re a very small team covering a huge area of Norfolk. Behind every rescue, collection, phone call and patient is a network of people working incredibly hard to keep everything running.
Even though we’re now entering our slightly quieter period as baby season begins to ease, in just the last 7 days we have:

-Received 156 phone calls
-Responded to 218 text messages
-Welcomed 45 patients
-Attended 9 emergency call-outs
-Completed 20 collections
-Filed 2 police reports

During the height of spring, figures like these can feel almost like daily statistics, but even now the workload is enormous. Wildlife rescue is one of those roles where it’s incredibly difficult to appreciate just how demanding and time consuming it can be until you’ve experienced it firsthand. And something that’s particularly important to remember is that this work is unpaid for us. We do it because we care deeply about the animals that need us, but keeping everything going takes an incredible amount of time, energy and commitment.
That’s why the kindness we’ve received this week has meant so much. Every patient word, compassionate message, donation, offer of help and bit of understanding genuinely makes a difference.

Thank you for standing behind our little team and helping us continue to be there for Norfolk’s wildlife. We truly couldn’t do it without such a supportive community around us. ❤️

. This lovely boy came to us a little while ago, and his story is one that has really stayed with us.

He had been a much loved family pet, but sometimes life changes in ways we simply cannot predict. His family were dealing with significant additional needs at home, and sadly, despite their best intentions, they realised they could no longer give him everything he needed. His owner was heartbroken to let him go. It was not a decision made lightly, but one made out of love, knowing that giving him up would give him the chance of a happier future.

When he arrived, he had blocked tear ducts and sore, scalded feet - Urine scalds are when they're in a confined space and sit on soiled flooring so their feet become sore and irritated. Despite everything, he was the sweetest, friendliest little rabbit. He just wanted company and affection.

Originally, he was going to one of our volunteers as a foster. But as so often happens, he worked his way into her heart and never left. She has now adopted him permanently, so the home that was supposed to be temporary has become his forever home.

To make his story even more special, a very kind person donated towards the cost of his neutering. Once he has recovered, this will give him the opportunity to be bonded with a rabbit companion, something that will hopefully bring him even more happiness.

There is always something bittersweet about taking in a much loved pet whose family desperately wishes circumstances could have been different. But knowing he is now safe, loved and has a wonderful future ahead of him makes it all worthwhile.

We thought his little success story was worth sharing.
