Over 30 years ago our founders Annette and Dave Risley embarked on a journey together to help injured and orphaned wildlife. Today, we carry on the work that they devoted their lives to; a legacy that we have continued with immense pride.

However, it is with great sadness that I announce that Folly Wildlife Rescue is now at risk of closure in the coming months - increasing costs and a slow-down in legacies have placed a significant strain on already stretched funds and resources. Running costs exceed £25,000 a month and without any external funding, our staff, volunteers and supporters have always raised every single pound, but sadly it’s no longer enough.

With effect from the 30th September we will be implementing emergency measures and running a restricted service in the hope we can buy time to stay open for a little longer whilst we focus on raising essential funds.

We need your help - please consider leaving a donation towards our campaign and help us continue this essential work for our wildlife - what we have here is beyond amazing and an incredible legacy that simply must continue for many more years to come. Thank you.
