The Wildlife Aid Foundation (WAF) is a registered charity dedicated to the rescue, care and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned British wildlife. Based in Leatherhead, Surrey, it deals with over 20,000 wildlife incidents every year.
On their annual ‘Open Day’ the centre opens its doors to the public and offers a unique and fascinating ‘behind the scenes’ look ‘at one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation hospitals in the UK. With food, music and activities for all the family, the 300+ team of volunteers host on a fun day out for all the family, whilst raising awareness for the plight of British wildlife, and giving helpful advice about what to do in a wildlife emergency. Tours are organised around the wildlife hospital with an opportunity to see some of the patients currently in their care.
