BLUEBELL SETT

Pauline and Derek Kidner opened New Road Farm (now Secret World) to visitors in 1984. Pauline's main interest has always been with wildlife and this soon led to the pens, out-buildings and gardens filling with injured animals and birds.

Bluebell Sett was founded in 1992 to support this wildlife work which has been recognised nationally by winning the BBC Animal Country Award in 1995 and seen in numerous TV programmes. Its name honours 'Bluebell', one of the first cubs reared by Pauline. Although she was released and free to go, Bluebell chose to stay at the farm where she raised two cubs of her own and adopted three others before her death in 1994.

Pauline Kidner was also nominated for the BBC Animal Awards in 2001 for 'contribution to animal welfare' award. She was one of the three runners-up but unfortunately was not successful in winning the award.

Bluebell Sett became a registered charity in 1995. We fund a hospital room at the farm and raise money for projects such as the purpose built casualty pens, providing much needed accommodation for the ever increasing numbers of sick and injured animals that are brought to us.

The aim of our rescue and rehabilitation work is always to return the animals to the wild whenever possible. Those which are unsuitable for release and can adapt to a life of captivity stay on at the farm where they are provided with a safe and caring environment.
