WHY LEAVE A LEGACY TO THE BLUEBELL SETT ?

The Bluebell Sett is a small charity and we rely heavily on donations to carry out our vital work. Our charity has three main aims :

  • The rescue and rehabilitation of injured or distressed wildlife (badgers, foxes, bats,deer, birds...) and their return to the wild.
  • To spread the message about the value of wildlife to our society.
  • To add to the still very limited store of knowledge about wildlife illnesses and their treatment, which is desperately needed by vets and wildlife carers.

Please help the Bluebell Sett continue its work caring for the numerous wild animals and birds which are brought to our Centre each year.

The Bluebell Sett Charity was founded in 1992 by Pauline Kidner, who is well known for her wildlife care. It is now run almost entirely by volunteers, though most of the care work is undertaken, by professional staff. The aim of our rescue and rehabilitation work is always to return the animals to the wild wherever possible.

As well as caring for each individual; we feel there is also a responsibility to the returning population and all animals released back to 'the wild should be healthy and viable. We do not believe that, wild born animals, which are unable to return to the wild, adapt very well to captivity and, unfortunately, euthanasia has to be carried out when it is considered that they would suffer too much in a captive environment.

There is always a continual need for medicines, as well as improved facilities and better equipment ,for the ever increasing numbers of sick and injured animals brought to us.

Bluebell Sett members give talks and organise wildlife first-aid courses for organisations and schools. It is only through education that the suffering of animals will be reduced and their habitat Protected for future generations to enjoy.

Our Clinical Studies Group gathers and distributes information on wildlife diseases and their treatment to vets and wildlife carers.

We desperately need your help to ensure our valuable work can continue. By including us in your will, you can make sure that our British Wildlife will continue to be cared for in years to come.
