Caring for Wildlife, One Rescue at a Time

Our local wildlife doesn’t have much, and they will fight tooth and claw to keep their valuable life. Its our role to help them do that.

Emergency Wildlife Rescue

When wildlife is in distress, time is of the essence. Our dedicated team of volunteers is always ready to respond to emergencies, providing expert care and rehabilitation.

Wildlife Care Guidance

Your passion for wildlife can make a real impact. Organise a fundraiser, participate in our events, or create your own campaign to support our rescue missions.

East Sussex Wildlife Rescue & Ambulance Service (WRAS) has been committed to wildlife well-being since 1985.

Our mission is to provide a front-line rescue service for wildlife casualties, who, unlike their domestic counterparts, often have no one else to turn to. We work closely with other animal welfare organizations across the South and around the country, to ensure that every animal gets the care and attention it deserves.

Every year, we handle between 3-4,000 calls, 2023 was our busiest year yet with over 5,500 casualities, all managed by our passionate team of volunteer rescuers. We offer our services completely free of charge, relying on the generous donations from people like you to cover our operational costs, which average £85 per call-out.

Volunteer

We rely on all our volunteers and would welcome you to the team, no matter how much time you can give.

WRAS helps wild animals in distress to survive and live fulfilled lives in their natural habitat. Started by a group of volunteers in 1985, we know the importance and the difference volunteering can make and we would not be here without you!

If you have a passion for wildlife and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, apply today!
