Over the last few years we have had quite a few enquiries from people asking how to leave Knoxwood a gift in their Will.
So we've partnered with FreeWills to provide all our supporters with the opportunity to make their own fully comprehensive Will for free. You can make your personalised Will online in three simple steps, from the comfort of your own home and with live support from their Will specialists.
This means that you can make a will for free and leave Knoxwood a gift if you desire with the added bonus that this service also costs Knoxwood nothing!

I have done 14 hours in the Wildlife hospital so far today and I am still going, I haven't been able to answer your messages as we have a key member of our team off sick and we are slammed with incoming creatures. If you have injured wildlife please bring it in between 8am and 8pm, no need to call or message first, just bring it.
If you are waiting for an update, we will get back to you ASAP.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Our Egremont shop is very short of volunteers, if you think you might be able to help, either for a morning or an afternoon or a full day we would LOVE to hear from you.
To volunteer, please pop down to the shop itself and find out all about it.
We do ask that our volunteers are over 18 years of age please.

This little kestrel will be off out into an aviary today for some exercise before release back to the wild!

Just a reminder that if you have injured wildlife please just bring it in 8am to 7.30pm. No need to call first, no appointments needed.

If you would like updates please WhatsApp us with your reference number and species and we will get back to you a little later in the week as we have been absolutely swamped over the weekend and we are playing catch-up at the moment.
