Quite close to where we live there is an wildlife rescue centre called Secret World. They take in injured, orphaned and abandoned wild animals, relying on donations to keep it all running. Secret World, now a registered charity, has been operating for many years and it's founder Pauline Kidner does wonderful work, not only looking after the sick and injured animals, ensuring, as far as possible, that each patient is rehabilitated back to the wild but also giving talks and generally attempting to raise funds for the centre. Secret World has many supporters, locally and further afield, some from the world of show business, which helps to keep the centre's profile as high as possible.
I have recently discovered that Pauline keeps a blog of the animals in her care, with photographs of the many and varied creatures that pass through the centre, including badgers, baby deer, bats, hedgehogs, ducks etc. There are web-cams too which enable viewers to see what is happening in some of the pens.
I recommend you to have a look, it is delightful, though sometimes moving, and there are some wonderful photos and stories.

Always great to hear that there are places like this around. I shall look at the link Anne, thanks for sharing it.
That's a lovely blog Anne. Thanks for the information.
I see Michaela Strachan is still going well aster all these years. Nice to see her on TV again.
Secret World does a wonderful job. Thanks for reminding us.
Sounds a little bit like the Exotic Pets Refuge, Anne, only targetting the domestic wildlife - which Pam does as well, of course.
I have so much admiration for people who do this work. It's so necessary, and so thankless, except for the satisfaction of helping an animal recover and go back to a normal life.
I'll go take a look! Thanks for the link.
that's a lovely blog Anne, thanks for sharing.
