Pick A Patient To Care For

For just £30 you can sponsor a patient is a good way to help an individual casualty. Receive a photo and reports on the patient’s progress. Sponsorship packages can also be sent with a card as a present for Christmas, Birthdays, etc. Rescue Trust newsletters included. Hessilhead is an independent charity. Funds are raised through the Donations, Membership (see below), and Sponsor-a-Patient schemes and through fundraising events.

Pick Your Patient

Choose from the following patients, which sadly, are all too common patients here at the Rescue Trust. Please give a second choice of casualty, just in case we don’t have your first choice in the centre at that time. And remember that some patients, such as ducklings, and seal pups, are only in care at certain seasons. You are welcome to Contact Us at first to check the availability of your preferred species.

How To Pay

Pick & Pay For Your Patient

You can make a payment to sponsor a patient via JustGiving. This is our preferred method to receive payment, as they only charge a small amount for their service. But more to our benefit, they manage the setup gift aid, which is highly beneficial to us as a charity. This also reduces the paperwork for us.

Select £30 as the payment amount (or add on an optional extra donation).
Then Contact Us to notify us of your payment (type of sponsorship), your details (your full name, address and telephone number) and those of the recipient (if this is a gift).

Reviews

Such an important place for wildlife rehabilitation. Support if you can. They work hard and always need newspapers etc. Took in an underweight juvenile hedgehog for me to bring up to weight. Got an update on him when I asked. They are very to the point and your rescue is in the best hands. Please help with funding or donations of newspaper etc if you can.
