SUSSEX WILDLIFE NEEDS YOU HELP!
There is currently a crisis in East Sussex facing our wildlife! Sick, injured, orphaned and trapped wild animals and birds are suffering because not enough facilities exist to help them all, resulting in hundreds of casualties suffering as a result!
WE NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY!
With Rogers Wildlife Rescue permanently closed, RSPCA Mallydams Wood temporarily closed, others having been closed and/or operating at a reduced service, smaller rescues and vets practices struggling to cope with the workload, and a huge lack of resources, our wildlife is suffering.
PICKING UP THE PIECES!
East Sussex Wildlife Rescue is trying its best top pick up the pieces by now taking in more casualties from Brighton & Hove, Bexhill & Hastings and Burgess Hill & Haywards Heath to support the key areas where there is a short of facilities. We are working with smaller groups and organisations to support them and their efforts to help local wildlife but they have very limited hospital resources. At the same time, we are trying to cover the huge workload in our core area Eastbourne, Hailsham, Lewes, Seaford, Heathfield, Uckfield, and beyond. However, it is a struggle to cope without improved facilities.
NEW CASUALTY CENTRE DESPERATELY NEEDED.
East Sussex WRAS has launched a Wildlife Crisis Appeal to raise much-needed fund to help buy land and build a bigger and better Casualty Centre for East Sussex. One, which can be expended on as money, is raised to improve facilities until eventually no wildlife in East Sussex will ever suffer again!
This is not going to be cheap and is estimated to costs in the region of £2-3 million in the long run. Phase one, will be to acquire lane and permissions to build a new Centre. In order to achieve this we need another £150,000 to add to funds already raised.
SAFE AND SECURE FOR THE FUTURE.
Our charity is well established and now one of the biggest wildlife rescue charities in the south east, so we are not at risk of closing down, but we need more funds to help the volume of casualties which are out there. We already deal with up to 5000 casualties a year, but this is not enough.
UNDERFUNDED & UNDERAPPRECIATED.
Wildlife rescue organisations are some of the most underfunded and underappreciated charities in the country, with very few grants available to support such work. We value our local wildlife, which is part of our heritage, and the bigger conservation and ecological picture of East Sussex.
