This is only a small amount of what we have been doing alongside giving out advice, returning gull chicks to roof tops, escorting mum and ducklings to safe locations and more.

We know this is not enough, and we need additional facilities so we can help more creatures especially gull chicks, deer, sea and coastal birds which we currently don’t have brilliant facilities for. Please help support us so we can expand and get a new hospital off the ground.

If you want to support East Sussex WRAS and it vital community service please consider volunteering or making a donation.
