Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue is a wildlife charity that rescues, cares for and rehabilitates sick, injured and orphaned British wildlife.We operate out of our 'Wildlife Casualty Centre' based in Blewbury. The charity cares for over 3-4000 animals annually, with most 'patients' being brought into care via members of the public, other animal organisations and the public services. We also utilise our 24-hour wildlife ambulance service, which is used for the rescue operations of injured deer, badgers, foxes and other large animals.  

For the last couple of years, we’ve been operating on rented land, and unfortunately, our landlord has given us notice to leave by October 2024, citing uncertainties with the farm's future. If we don’t find a new home, the reality is that Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue will probably cease to exist.

We are desperately fundraising to secure the future of OWR and the future of our local wildlife; we need to buy our own land. If we cannot do that, then charity will no longer be able to help not just our unique but threatened wildlife but the thousands of members of the public who turn to us for help or advice when they find an animal in need. With nowhere to operate from, we will probably have to shut down.

Land is not cheap, especially in the area over which we operate. Please, will you make an urgent donation today to help us purchase land and relocate?

We know times are hard for everyone right now, but if you’re able, please help us find our forever home and save the Rescue. And if you’re unable to donate, please share our campaign far and wide - tell your colleagues and friends and family, share this campaign on social media, or even hold your own fundraising events – every penny will help.

Thank you.
