Simon’s Last Wish (renovating Wildlife Aid hospital)
Wildlife Aid (Surrey) has helped hundreds of thousands of creatures, founded by a former city broker who sadly died due to aggressive cancer in June 2024. Shortly before his death, his daughter and others launched a campaign to renovate this hospital and protect surrounding land: Simon’s Last Wish.
You can donate at Just Giving to reach the target of £4 million. Or select ‘Wildlife Aid Foundation’ at Charities Aid Foundation and tick the box, to donate anonymously. Either way, tick the Gift Aid Box.

The easiest way to help is to set up an account at easyfundraising and set Wildlife Aid as your cause. Then each time you buy something from participating stores (or services), a portion goes to them (at no cost to you, and loyalty points are not affected).
More ways to help Wildlife Aid
The centre (which has over 300 volunteers) also offers placement for vet students. If you live within a 45-minute drive from Leatherhead and have suitable land, they welcome hedgehog release sites.
These must have suitable cover and food, shallow sloping water sources and no chain linked fences (and be unsecure about for hogs to roam up to an acre at night).
Need help? If within the catchment area, contact Wildlife Aid with a full description, and ideally send a photo or video via email or app, for them to assess the situation.
