Secret World is a charity that specialises in the rescue, rehabilitation and eventual release of Britain’s orphaned, injured and sick wildlife and is the only 24/7 service in the South West.

Last year, we were able to help around 4000 sick, injured or orphaned creatures. We know there were many more that could have been nursed back to health, if only we had more resources. In 2011 we were able to carry out educational visits to 27 schools. At a time when wildlife needs our help more than ever these visits teach children about nature and show them what they can do to protect the wildlife on their doorstep.

Next year, we want to do so much more. But we need your help.
