Your Legacy Will... ...Help Us Help Them
For over 40 years, Tiggywinkles, The Wildlife Hospital Trust, has been treating, saving and rehabilitating sick, injured and orphaned British wild animals and birds. From hedgehogs to otters, from sparrows to red kites, no creature is ever turned away or needlessly put to sleep –and every creature is treated free of charge. Our prime directive is to get all our patients back to the wild and our team of veterinary specialists and over one hundred dedicated volunteers will never lose sight of this.
We treat more wild animals than any other UK centre and every donation and legacy has an immediate and important impact on our world leading hospital. With financial help we could do so much more. We rely on the compassion of caring individuals like you. To give an idea of how many patients are saved by our committed team, on any one day there are between 1000 and 1700 animals in our care, with medical expertise always available. Being a unique hospital we are conscious of the fact that the ground breaking discoveries we make are of benefit to wildlife everywhere– as we pass on information and nurture rehabilitators worldwide. Incidentally, it may also be interesting to learn that our hospital helps people of all abilities to obtain job skills and worthwhile educational qualifications, whilst they help us care for our patients. In 1991, our purpose built teaching hospital at Haddenham, near Aylesbury, the first of its kind in Europe, was opened by Princess Alexandra and since its inception, Tiggywinkles has cared for hundreds of thousands of sick, injured and orphaned wild animals.. This number increases steadily as more people become aware that injured wildlife can be helped.
It is clear that the work of Tiggywinkles must go on. Have you ever had that helpless feeling on seeing an injured wild bird or animal and not knowing who can help? We can help that casualty and YOU can help Britain’s injured wildlife by remembering Tiggywinkles in your will. We desperately need your support. Your gift can also come in the form of a donation or by becoming a member.
