ABOUT OUR BENEFICIARIES:
=====================
http://wildlifeambulance.org/
East Sussex WRAS (Wildlife Rescue & Ambulance Service) was founded by Trevor Weeks who has been rescuing wildlife since he was 13 (in 1985). WRAS is a voluntary community charity which helps wildlife casualties and the people who find them. Operating 24 hrs a day 365 days a year, running 4 veterinary ambulances and a small casualty care centre at Whitesmith in East Sussex.

Wildlife casualties can find veterinary centres very stressful due to the noise from cats, dogs, parrots, and human activity slowing down their recovery. WRAS decided it needed to help improve the situation by setting up its own Hospital. Despite operating several small units using sheds it was not till 2010 that WRAS managed to launch its current Hospital. WRAS’s Casualty Care Centre, based on the A22 between Hailsham and Uckfield. Over the next five years the charity slowly expanded and improved the facilities which is now able to take in just under 200 casualties at any one time, although this does depend on the range of species in care at the time. The Hospital has a treatment room, three hospital rooms, an indoor room divided into four indoor pens and aviaries, a prep room, volunteer rest area, orphan rearing area, education room, store and cold room for acclimatising animals like hedgehogs before moving them outside. WRAS has two registered vets and the centre is also registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

WRAS covers a large area of East Sussex and works with 11 different veterinary practices. These vehicles move around but are normally based at either at the charities centre at Whitesmith and out of hours at Uckfield and Polegate. The charity relies on volunteers to operate these ambulance and at night time it tries to keep two of these vans are available. The ambulances carry a variety of equipment, from ladders, various nets, stretchers, first aid kits, dog graspers, swan hooks, and much more. WRAS ambulances have been involved in numerous rescues including helping to deal with a seal trapped in a nuclear power station, an albino deer with its antlers caught in a rope swing, a badger stuck in a disused swimming pool, a fox trapped in a drain, a bird caught up on a chimney, birds flying round inside a house, run over hedgehogs and much more.

WRAS also has a number of sites across the county where it does the outside rehabilitation of casualties. These include aviaries and pens of various sizes at Burgess Hill, Uckfield, Lewes, Eastbourne and Lower Dicker.

A number of WRAS’s volunteers, also help with the rehabilitation and over wintering of hedgehogs in runs and hutches I their gardens at home.

https://brightonhuntsaboteurs.wordpress.com/about/
Brighton Hunt Saboteurs take direct action to stop bloodsports. We are mostly based in Brighton, in the UK. We are a diverse group of volunteers united by the desire to prevent the suffering and death inflicted on wild animals by hunting and shooting.

We are one of the oldest hunt saboteur groups in the country, having been running continuously since the early 1960s. We normally operate within East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent and Surrey, visiting hunts and intervening when necessary to save the lives of wildlife. We concentrate on fox hunting but also stop pheasant shooting, mink hunting, hare hunting and the badger cull. We are independent, but work with the national Hunt Saboteurs Association, and other local groups.
