Fundraise

Sussex WRAS is a registered charitable company, registered with both the Charity Commission and Companies House. Every year WRAS receives between 2-3,000 calls for help. The main areas of expenditure for WRAS are veterinary bills, ambulance and transportation bills, purchase of equipment and supplies and our rescue phone line and mobiles.

The charity spends the majority of its money on the practical help for wildlife casualties, paying veterinary bills, ambulance expenses, keeping a mobile phone rescue service running, veterinary and hospital supplies, purchases the equipment needed to rescue casualties, training of medics, the purchase of cages, erecting pens as well as food and other disposable items needs for the care of wildlife casualties. A small amount of money is also spent on fundraising, and educational work.

Our accounts are submitted every year and are available to download from the Charities Commission Website.

Summer Staff Appeal

Scroll to the bottom to make a donation.

"I am reaching out to share my concerns about how we will manage this spring and summer and to seek your assistance" said Trevor Weeks MBE WRAS Founder & Operations Director.

In 2023, we experienced an 18% increase in the number of casualties we handled, totalling nearly 6000, making it our busiest year on record. More than half of the mammals we treated are on the Vulnerable Conservation list, and 52% of the birds are listed as Red or Amber by the RSPB, indicating a decline in their populations. This surge strained all our resources to the maximum, coinciding with a decrease in our fundraising income. Regrettably, we anticipate similar challenges for 2024.

At WRAS, we are once again preparing for a rise in casualties during the upcoming months. We are already rescuing fledglings being blown out of trees and have taken in an orphaned badger cub. If the trend of increases continues as it did last year, our already limited resources will face even greater pressure.

To maintain our top-notch wildlife rescue service, we will need to raise an additional £34,000 to support the extra dedicated staff required for the Spring/Summer period. This includes extended reception coverage for rescue coordination into the evenings, additional hours for our dedicated Care Team to admit casualties and provide urgent first aid, and an extension of our Veterinary Surgeon's hours to care for the extra casualties.

After a long and wet winter, everyone at WRAS is eagerly anticipating the warmer spring and summer days, despite the challenges we faced. Rising costs and increased workloads are causing genuine concern, especially as we continue to search for a site for our new Hospital. According to the latest reports on stateofnature.org.uk, the UK ranks among the world's most nature-depleted nations due to a century of habitat loss, management changes, and development. The report highlights that nearly 1 in 6 wild species are at risk, with more species declining since 1970.

Climate change is also contributing to the decline in nature, raising questions about how we can reduce our environmental impact. Shifts in weather patterns, such as strong winds, rain leading to floods, and overall warmer temperatures, are all influencing our ecosystem.

Today, I am reaching out to ask if you could support WRAS with a donation of £5 to make a difference for our wildlife this summer.

Your donation of £5 (or more if possible) will contribute to our goal of raising an extra £34,000 to secure sufficient staff and resources for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons.

You can donate using the form below.

Thank you for considering our cause and supporting our efforts to protect and care for our wildlife.

Trevor Weeks MBE

Founder & Rescue Co-ordinator

"Many people contact us in distress when they come across an injured animal. It is crucial to respond promptly and provide assistance to the injured animal. However, during the summer months, the volume of calls increases, and they extend throughout the day and evening. Managing these calls can be challenging. Having additional trained staff dedicated to handling calls will help in providing quicker assistance to both the injured animals and the callers in need."

Kristy Sayer, WRAS Rescue Co-ordinator & Receptionist

Trevor spent much of his childhood around animals and out in the countryside, so it was no surprise that his life became dedicated to wildlife rescue and conservation work.

Year by year his devotion to wildlife grew and has supported him through some tough periods in his life.   From treating oiled guillemots at the Sea Empress Oil Spill in Wales and Swan crashing into cables in Kent plus the rescue of a dolphin in a Cumbrian harbour to dramatic local deer rescues, Trevor has been at the sharp end of wildlife rescue.  He has even been hospitalised on a few occasions.

This book has been written purely to help raise vital funds for East Sussex Wildlife Rescue & Ambulance Service to help keep the charities ambulances on the road saving thousands of casualties every year.

The book is 240 pages and includes 32 colour pages of photos.

Reccommended Retail price £8.99.   The book is available to by at our Charity Shop at 192 Terminus Road, Eastbourne. Or from our Reception at The Casualty Centre, Unit 2, The Shaw Barn, A22, Whitesmith, East Sussex, BN8 6JD.

Leaving WRAS a Gift in your Will?

Why support WRAS by leaving a Gift in your Will?

We do not receive any central Government or National Lottery funding, we are totally reliant on the incredible generosity of our supporters.  Without you we could not continue our vital work of rescuing, caring and rehabilitating injured, lost, orphaned and abandoned wildlife.

Annually we responded to and deal with free of any charge to over 5000 casualties, this includes veterinary bills, food, water, electric, bedding, caging, rescue equipment, vehicles and fuel, phone bills and other necessary expenses.  The number of casualties are increasing year on year.  Habitat degradation,  pollution, disruption of ecosystem and climate change are all impacting on the life and survival of our wildlife.

By leaving a gift in your Will no matter how large or small, will be a lasting gift, your compassion and kindness will help secure the future of WRAS and the vital service we provide to our wildlife.

Once your loved ones have been provided for please consider leaving a gift in your Will to  East Sussex WRAS. (Please state our official title “East Sussex WRAS” and including our registered charity number 1108880).

Making a will does not need to be difficult, however, you may worry about assets to be allocated, to whom and how. Writing your Will gives you peace of mind and removes the burden to your family to take on this  task at their time of bereavement. A bequest to WRAS need not affect your families financial stability.

As a charity, all bequests are free from all liability for inheritance tax and can be used to bring the value of your estate below the tax threshold which can be of tremendous benefit for those you leave behind.

There are a number of different types of gift you can make to support the work of WRAS in your will:

  • Pecuniary Legacy a gift of a sum of money (it is possible to add a pecuniary legacy to an existing Will using a simple Codicil document)
  • Residuary Legacy a gift of a share or all of what is left of your estate after all other payments have been made.
  • A specific gift this could be a gift of anything from a piece of jewellery or a property to a selection of shares.

It is important that your Will is legal, we recommend that you contact a professional for help in preparing your will.

East Sussex WRAS has partnered with Bequeathed - make your will for good, who offer a free will writing service and provide advice for WRAS supporters. 

You can find out more about Bequeathed and their service by clicking here.

You can arrange an appointment for a video chat with Bequeathed by clicking here

East Sussex WRAS are unable to offer advice on will writting, but Bequeathed offer a free Will writting service and offer free advice.

If you have already kindly left a gift in your Will to WRAS then please download and complete the WRAS Legacy Pledge Form

Vision for a New Centre.

On 4th September 2010 WRAS opened the doors to its current Casualty Centre. Back then we only had a single unit. We rapidly outgrew this facility and now occupy four different units. Unfortunately 11 years on we need to expand even further.

Over the last few years we have been limiting and delaying some expenditure to help save money where possible, but some costs like disinfectant, masks and gloves have increased as has fuel, veterinary and medication costs.

East Sussex WRAS is one of the biggest wildlife hospitals in the South East and has plans to build a new Casualty Centre in the heart of East Sussex and has some funds already put aside to help with this. We currently need an extra £150,000 to hit our first target so we can procure land and start the next step in establishing a new centre, but this will be just the first stage in the work. The final costs of buying land, building a centre, installing veterinary caging and equipment, building and erecting outdoor facilities as well as installing utilities and the planning and development is expecting to eventually costs in the region of £2-3 million.

This will not happen overnight. Our current Casualty Centre is too small, we can no longer expand and we need our own buildings and land. We have already put funds aside over the last 5-6 years to help with this project.  We aim to eventually be one of the biggest wildlife hospitals in the country with veterinary science and compassion at the forefront of what we do. This facility would have proper isolation facilities so that in crisis times like this there would be no risk to the casualties in care and we would still be able to admit and guarantee casualties treatment without the threat of all our casualties being euthanized.

Over the last five years we have also been putting some money aside from legacies in order to look at purchasing our own land and set up a new Casualty Centre. This exciting new venture will not be cheap. Land suitable for development is often purchased for housing by investors pricing us out of the market. But we are still looking and investigating sites.

We hope the new site will still be in the Hailsham area so we can continue to serve the heart of East Sussex but also increase our ability to help with rescues in Brighton and Hove as well as the Hastings area.

At the new centre we would aim to have additional outdoor pens and aviary facilities, bigger and improved veterinary facilities, including improved first aid and assessment rooms, surgical prep area, theatre, and x-ray rooms. We will increase capacity and look at improving our facilities for holding foxes, badgers, waterfowl, birds of prey, bats, swifts and swallows as well as reptile and amphibians . We also plan to have better isolation facilities so that when Bird Flu or other such problems hit we can cope without risking the lives of the other birds in care.

We also hope we will be able to improve our office and meeting room facilities to make our administration more efficient as well as increase our ability to run training courses for staff, volunteers, students and members of the public. It is hoped that we will have an area for the public to visit, shop and learn about the charity and how to help wildlife.

Stage One is to procure land so we can start putting plans in place for our new Casualty Centre. We currently need to raise an additional £150,000 to make this possible.

If you can spare an extra donation to help us expand and set up our new Casualty Centre please make a donation via one of the following:

Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It must be paid through PAYE from someone’s wages or pension and is deducted before tax.

Employees

Your employer needs to set up and run the scheme. The amount of tax relief you get depends on the rate of tax you pay. if your employer doesn't have a system in place to set this up encourage them to contact a Payroll Giving Agency.

Employers

Contact a Payroll Giving agency to set up a scheme.

Make deductions each time you run payroll. The donation will be taken from your employees’ pay before tax but after National Insurance.

Send the donations to your agency - they’ll pass them on to the chosen charities.

Ask your agency any questions you or your employees have about the scheme.

Costs of running a scheme

Agencies may charge an administration fee. They usually deduct this from employees’ donations before they pass them to the charity. You can choose to pay the fee, meaning the charities will get more money.

You can deduct any costs of running the scheme from your business profits before tax.

Memory Tree

Every now and then we get a legacy and more frequently donations in the post via a funeral director where money has been collected for our charity at a funeral instead of flowers or a collection has taken place. We find it really touching that at such a sad time people think highly enough of our humble charity to choose us to make donations.

We have wanted for a while to honour those people. In January 2018, in our reception we erected a “Memory Tree” on the wall, where leaves are being placed to remember those people.

These donations are invaluable and make a huge difference in keeping our service on the road so this is the least we can do to say thank you and remember those who, like us, loved wildlife.

Every time we receive donations totalling £25 or more via a funeral directors or receive donations in memory of someone in the post or online, we will place a leaf on the memory tree with their name on. 

We welcome family and friends to visit (by appointment) to see the leaf in reception once created. Please be aware that we occasionally have to restrict access to reception if Avian Influenza or another such risk in present in the community.
