Wills and Legacies
Leaving a gift to Hillary, Harry and Friends Wildlife Rescue in your Will is a wonderful way to support animals in need, even after you're gone.
Legacy donations help animal rescues plan for the future, provide ongoing care, purchase food and medical supplies, improve facilities and give more vulnerable wildlife the chance to recover and return to the wild.
Every gift, no matter how big or small, can make a lasting difference to the lives of animals who have nowhere else to turn.
By remembering our rescue in your Will, you can leave behind a legacy of kindness, compassion and love for wildlife.
Your gift could help save lives for years to come.

We offer three sponsorship packages:
🥉 Bronze Sponsorship – £200 per year

🥇 Gold Sponsorship – £1,000 per year

🐾 Individual Animal Sponsorship
You can also choose to sponsor an individual animal and help towards the cost of their food, accommodation, veterinary care and recovery.

Collection box
Would you be happy to display a donation box in your shop, salon, pub, restaurant, café, workplace or local business?
By giving our collection box a little space on your counter, you can help raise vital funds through customers and visitors donating their spare change.
Every penny adds up and helps support the care, food, medical treatment and shelter needed by animals in rescue.
It's a simple way to make a big difference without any cost to your business.
If you would like to host a donation box, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you!
