Founded in 1995, South Essex Wildlife Hospital is the only facility of its kind in the whole of Essex, London, and Kent. Dealing with more than 10,000 patients and answering over 20,000 calls for help every year, our small but committed team are dedicated to saving UK wildlife.
History
Our story began all the way back in 1990, when our founder, Sue, was still working for Essex Police. With a growing number of calls about wild animals in need of help, her first ever patient was an orphaned fox cub, and it all spiralled from there! Having owned ponies and been involved in cat rescue, Sue’s passion quickly grew and, before long, the fledgling charity, then called ‘Thurrock Wildlife Concern’, moved out of her back garden and into her parents smallholding in Orsett.
