Vale Wildlife Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre

Who we are

Vale Wildlife Hospital is one of the UK’s largest wildlife rehabilitation hospitals, treating over 7,500 sick, injured, and orphaned animals and birds every year, with an aim to release as many of those casualties as possible, back to the wild, where they belong.

Vale Wildlife Hospital was founded back in 1984 and this year, celebrates 40 years of ‘Helping Britain’s Wildlife’.

The hospital is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for any wildlife casualties to be brought in. Our trained staff also attend large mammal ‘call outs’ and assist emergency services with wildlife, when needed.                                       

Our current running costs are over £60,000 every month (£1,972 per day) and we receive no government funding.    

As well as being there for British wildlife, we also provide courses for veterinary professionals, other rescues and carers with our -  Basic First Aid & Rehabilitation of Hedgehogs Course, Basic Microscopy Course and we are putting together a Basic First Aid & Rehabilitation of Birds Course (coming soon).
