Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital has been caring for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife for over 40 years. Based in Sidlesham, near Chichester in West Sussex on the south coast of England, each year we treat over 3,000 sick, orphaned, and injured wildlife casualties brought to the hospital from Sussex, Hampshire, and often further afield. About 2,500 of these patients are birds, about 500 hedgehogs, plus a few deer, badgers, etc. Many of these patients are the victims of the actions of mankind. Our patients include road accident casualties; victims of poisoning, pollution, or environmental damage; victims of deliberate cruelty; and victims of accidents sustained in man-made environments.

At Brent Lodge, we do our best to redress the balance. Our aim is to treat, care for, and rehabilitate these patients so that they can be released back to the wild, where they belong. As well as treating all patients brought to the hospital, we also handle hundreds of requests for help and information via phone calls and email. We also work with schools & other organisations to educate about the risks and dangers faced by our wildlife, and to spread knowledge about simple things that can be done to help. It costs us over £20 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to run Brent Lodge. We receive no government funding, and in order to survive, we are entirely dependent on donations from the public. If you would like to help us continue to save wildlife in need, please consider making a donation or supporting the activities of our fundraisers. Thank you!
