Caring for British Wildlife, Together

Across the UK, our much-loved native wildlife faces growing challenges. Habitat loss, pollution, road traffic, and increasing human activity are placing enormous pressure on species that once thrived in our countryside and gardens.

At Tiggywinkles, we care for all wildlife species – from hedgehogs, owls, and songbirds to badgers, deer, swans, and even tiny harvest mice. As the UK’s busiest wildlife hospital, we treat over 13,000 patients every year, working around the clock to rescue, rehabilitate, and return animals to the wild. Every life matters, from tiny baby birds needing hand feeding every hour, to foxes caught in litter, or deer injured on roads. We provide expert veterinary treatment, lifelong sanctuary for those that cannot be released, and public education to inspire the next generation of wildlife protectors.

Remembering Tiggywinkles in your Will is a lasting way to help us continue this vital work. Gifts to charity are always tax-free, and if you leave 10% or more of your net estate to a registered charity, any inheritance tax can reduce from 40% to 36% (see the UK Government IHT page for details).

As a permanent tribute, we remember those who leave a bequest by inscribing their names on a plaque in our Remembrance Garden, for all visitors to see how your support has benefited wildlife.
