Looking for help with a sick, injured, or at risk wild animal?

Click here for assistance

HelpWildlife.co.uk is a website which aims to help those who find sick, injured, orphaned or at-risk wildlife to find information about what to do and who can help. We hope you will find all the information you need on our site – we publish a library of over 60 advice articles and maintain a directory of around 700 wildlife rescue organisations and individuals to help you to find help quickly. We also operate a helpdesk, providing individual support for those unable to find the help they need through the advice articles and directory. The FAQs below aim to help direct you to the appropriate part of our site and answer some common questions.

How Can I Find a Wildlife Rescue Near Me?

Just head to directory.helpwildlife.co.uk and enter your location to be shown wildlife rescues in your area. If you struggle to find a rescue, visit helpwildlife.co.uk/help for support.

I'm Concerned About an Animal - Should I Help?

We’ve put together a library of articles to help you assess whether help is needed. Just go to helpwildlife.co.uk/advice to read them. If you can‘t find the information you need there, have a look at helpwildlife.co.uk/help for sources of bespoke advice and assistance. Reviewing our articles first takes the pressure off busy wildlife rescue volunteers.

Can You Come and Rescue This Animal I've Found?

We (HelpWildlife.co.uk) operate online only. We don’t rescue animals ourselves but we can offer advice and help to connect you with a wildlife rescue in your area. Go to helpwildlife.co.uk/help for more information.

I Have a Problem With UnWelcome Wildlife - Can You Help?

We have some advice articles covering this. Just go to helpwildlife.co.uk/advice/problem-wildlife

If your issue isn’t covered there, there’s a form to email us for bespoke advice at the bottom of each article.

There's an Issue with a Listing in Your Directory. How Can I Tell You About It?

If you have feedback about the contact information on a directory listing, please use the feedback facility on the listing.

If you have concerns about one of the listings in the directory please visit helpwildlife.co.uk/policies/

How Can I Add a Listing to Your Directory?

Head over to the directory site and you’ll find the information and links you need here – https://directory.helpwildlife.co.uk/add-a-listing/

Can I Contribute Information to Your Site?

The accuracy of the information on our site is of paramount importance to us. For that reason, we very much welcome the input of those working in wildlife rescue or with other wildlife knowledge and expertise. We will not accept contributions from content creators, marketing agencies etc – we do not pay for content and we do not publish content in exchange for payment.

If you are a rescuer or wildlife expert and would like to contribute to the site, please register an account on the directory (directory.helpwildlife.co.uk) and indicate there that you’d like to get involved in developing HelpWildlife.co.uk.

Can I Link to Your Website?

Yes, please do! The information on our site is designed to be shared – we want as many people as possible to know what to do and who to turn to if they find injured wildlife. Thank you for helping to spread the word.

Do You Need Any Volunteers?

We do, but please be aware this will be with online, computer based work not animal care. If you’re looking to volunteer directly with animals, please search our directory to find a wildlife rescue in your area and use the information on their listing to contact them and offer your help. To volunteer with us, visit helpwildlife.co.uk/get-involved.

Can You Come and Do a Talk for My School/Club/Scout Group etc?

Unfortunately, we (HelpWildlife.co.uk) do not have the resources to do talks and visits at this time. Please search our directory to find a wildlife rescue in your area and use the information on their listing to contact them to see if they can help.

Do You Have Any Jobs/Can I Come and Do Work Experience With you?

We (HelpWildlife.co.uk) are run entirely by volunteers from their homes so we have no jobs available and cannot accommodate work experience placements.

Do You Need Any Cages/Towels/Mascara Wands/Newspaper/Food etc

Thank you but we (HelpWildlife.co.uk) operate online only so we have no use for items used to care for animals. Please put your location into our map to find a wildlife rescue in your area and use the information on their listing to contact them and offer your donations.

What's Your Phone Number?

Apologies, but we do not currently have a phone number.

As we are run by volunteers who all give their time alongside jobs, family commitments, etc we unfortunately do not have sufficient resource to be able to consistently ‘man’ a telephone line. You should find the information you need on our website but if you need extra help regarding sick, injured, or at risk wildlife, please visit our help page to see details of sources of bespoke help. For anything else, not covered on this page please see the question below.

My Query is Not About An Animal and is Not Covered Above. How Can I Get In Touch?

You can email us with other queries but please DO NOT EMAIL US ABOUT SICK/INJURED/AT RISK WILDLIFE. Emails are checked once a day so we will not see your message quickly enough to help.

For anything about our directory email [email protected]

For other general/admin enquiries you can email [email protected].

For anything concerning a wild animal needing help, visit helpwildlife.co.uk/help.

Please be aware that we have very limited volunteer resources. If your query is covered by the FAQs above we may not respond.
