Iʼve raised £2,915 to To purchase a new ambulance for the Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital
- Dinton, Salisbury, UK
- Funded on Monday, 30th April 2018
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
The Wiltshire wildlife hospital is run by a couple and assisted by a dedicated team of volunteers. All are unpaid.
The hospital provides 24 hour cover 365 days a year, and to fulfil this they require the use of their ageing ambulance. This is the problem, the ambulance is "past its best" in fact its now not fit for purpose.
The ambulance and its volunteer crew cover the whole of the county of Wiltshire and also into neighbouring county area's. It can be called upon anytime, day or night and reliability is paramount when possibly attending a badly injured animal in urgent need of medical help. The hospital along with others never refuse a injured or sick wild animal or bird and at present are caring for over 250 hedgehogs as well as deer, badgers, swans and foxes.

7 years agoHi everyone, and a great big thank you to all of you, it has been a fantastic response. In 5 days I am closing the "page" and once all funds have cleared I will produce a statement of account showing all monies collected and used. The ambulance is ready for collection tomorrow(Thurs) and then the sign writer can hopefully start . Thank you to all.

7 years agoHi everyone, just to update on the progress of the ambulance. The vehicle has been chosen (white Mercedes sprinter) and paid for. The vehicle is being fitted with a "towing T bar" and this is the reason its not ready for collection. Then it will be sign written and taken to the hospital for fitting out. I will produce a full statement of money spent etc and any monies left will be given to the hospital. Thank you everyone.

7 years agoHi everyone. This afternoon Mike and myself purchased the replacement ambulance/Vehicle. The total paid for the vehicle +rear T bar, was £16,254.00. This means that with the £15k received from animal friends, I will draw down £1,254 from the just giving page. Other amounts will be drawn as and when required. Any monies left over will go to the hospital to purchase food etc. Thank you everyone
