SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
-
Thursday 6 June 2024 marked the 40th anniversary of the day our founder Caroline Gould MBE took in her very first wildlife patient which marked the start of what would become Vale Wildlife and Rehabilitation Centre as we know it today. In that time over 146,330 patients have passed through the doors ( accurate records only stated in 1991) and the charity has evolved from a back garden one woman enterprise to a major, nationally and internationally recognised wildlife hospital with 24hr, 365day services and dozens of staff and volunteers involved every day to rescue, assess, treat, rear, rehabilitate and release a huge range of wildlife patients from the tiniest mammals and garden birds to swans, birds of prey and deer.
-
A few days after our 40[th] birthday, the Kings birthday honors list included an MBE for services to Wildlife Rehabilitation for our Founder Caroline Gould. So very much deserved and made all involved with the charity very proud to see her achievements marked in such a way. On 29 Oct Caroline travelled to Windsor Castle to receive her accolade.
-
On Sunday 7 July 2024 we hosted our 40th anniversary Open Day. The weather was less kind to us this year and the forecast for the day was terrible, although in the end it was better than anticipated. The day was still very well supported allowing our members and supporters to view the inner workings of the hospital and facilities as well as a packed field of craft and charity stalls, games and fun, a fun dog show, zorb pool and dozens of other attractions. We were extremely delighted to raise a staggering £21,495.48
-
At the end of 2024 our final patient tally for the calendar year was 8091, 115 more than the previous record, and more than double the total admissions in 2015 (3873). June 2024 was our busiest ever month with 1408 patients admitted. Birds make up over 60% of all our patients. Hedgehogs continue to be the species we admit most frequently with 1784 treated during 2024, which is 22% of the total patient count.

The Vale Wildlife Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre Trustees Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2025
-
During this year we have been pleased to offer training placements to 44 students studying either a
-
veterinary or animal related course from several different UK colleges and universities, as well as international institutions. These opportunities allow us to play a role in educating the next generation of veterinary professionals and rehabilitators and help to increase knowledge and experience in the extremely specialist field of wildlife treatment and rehabilitation.
-
Our charity shops in Tewkesbury and Evesham continue to thrive and the combined income from both of our charity shops makes up 28% of our total income and it is no exaggeration to say we simply could not exist without the shops and therefore by extension the staff, volunteers and the customers who keep them so busy.
-
At the start of this year, we launched our very own “hedgehog food” in collaboration with Jacobi Jayne who are market leaders in the wildlife feeds market. This marked the end of a two-year development process designed to ensure that the feed was not only safe for hedgehogs but actually nutritionally beneficial. The food is now available to purchase direct from the hospital and nationally via garden centres, pet shops and online. Not only will this help to ensure the health and wellbeing of hedgehogs in gardens across the land but thanks to the support and collaboration with Jacobi Jayne the charity will receive a small royalty payment from every sale. At the end of this financial year that figure was £2183.82.
-
Our educational offerings continued to expand this year with the full launch of The Microscopy Course (Hedgehogs) or “What’s under the microscope” to complement our every popular Hedgehog first aid course. Demand for this content has even led to our education officer’s “virtual” attendance at a hedgehog conference in mainland Europe via a pre-recorded video input. Our head vet launched a “Vet bites”, a series of short online inputs for veterinary professions seeing occasional wildlife patients in private practice. At the opposite end of the spectrum, we have re-introduced educational talks for local schools. Continuing to expand the range of our educational offering, to educate everyone from school children, the general public, those working directly with wildlife and qualified veterinary professionals is a key part of our work for the good of all wildlife

Financial review:
| Total income for the year was | 2025 | £837,500 | 2024 | £773,007 | % change | +8% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expenses for the year were | 2025 | £923,297 | 2024 | £934,108 | % change | -1% |
This gives a deficit of £-85,797 for the year, after a £-161,101 deficit in 2024 which is a 47% change
Initial observations:
Overall income this year was £64,493 more than the previous year, very notably income from legacies was £43,773 more than the previous year. Legacies are probably the least predictable and most erratic income stream we receive but can quite clearly make a simply massive difference to a small charity and we are extremely grateful to all the supporters and their families who make the choice to leave a gift of any size to the charity.
Expenses this year show a small decrease, this is largely due to decisions taken to hold off all capital projects and limiting payroll costs by reducing support staff numbers and not recruiting new care staff despite the number of patients in care continuing to increase.
Payroll costs now account for around 78% of the charity’s expenses. As the charity continues to expand and treat more and more patients so more care and support staff are required to support the smooth running of the hospital and to ensure high standards are maintained. Individual staff costs are low with all care, shop and support staff on a wage slightly over the minimum legal wage and the Management team and veterinary team on a wage far less than would be expected in private practice. Our staff are our biggest asset, the skills and dedication of our hardworking people, regardless of their role, are the backbone and lifeblood of the hospital. Every one of them plays a vital role in the day-to-day operation of the whole organisation.
The trustees have not adopted a policy on the Revaluation of fixed assets and on this basis, Land is disclosed at cost on the balance sheet and in Note 5 and amounts to £7,676.
However, in the opinion of the trustees, if the land were to be re-valued is value would have increased however in the current financial climate it is very difficult to estimate a value. The trustees feel that it would not be in the best interest of the charity to have the land professionally valued as the charities cash resources could be better used elsewhere.

In summary
This has been an incredible year for the charity which reached the remarkable milestone of 40 years in operation, the birthday celebration being topped off by our founder being made MBE.
It is staggering to think how much the organisation has grown in that time but with that come great challenges, not least financially, the charity has operated at a loss for two consecutive years and yet admits more and more patients each year, our income this year has increased significantly and yet still does not meet our running costs of almost £77,000 a month. If this trend continues then tough decisions will have to made to ensure the financial security and thus long term future of the charity.
Future Plans:
-
To continue to operate the wildlife hospital and two charity shops in their current locations.
-
To continue to treat and where possible rehabilitate and release any British wildlife casualty brought to the hospital.
-
To continue to offer veterinary training placements and opportunities for both students and qualified veterinary professionals.
-
To further improve facilities and advance treatment protocols for the care and rehabilitation of casualties at each stage of their care.
-
To continue to offer and expand a range of courses to further the education of the public in Wildlife First aid and related subjects
-
To further develop our collaboration with Jacobi Jayne to bring specialist new wildlife life food products to market

Reserves Policy:
Financial reserves are necessary to support the charity in case of difficulty. However, the charity is solely reliant upon donations, charity shop income and legacies to maintain a sufficient reserve level. At the end of the year the charity held sufficient reserves to continue for over 5.5 months.
Related Parties:
There are no related party transactions accountable for within the charity.
Assets
No assets are held on behalf of any other person or organisation.
TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at the time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
