What we do
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, OWR is a small, independent but dedicated wildlife charity that aims to restore some ethical balance by rescuing, caring and rehabilitating sick, injured and orphaned British wild animals and birds. 97% of all our wildlife related cases are due to something caused either directly or indirectly by human activity.
Our operations are carried out at our dedicated wildlife rescue centre, which is located in Blewbury, Oxfordshire. The charity holds a strong team of both staff and volunteers, all dedicated to thousands of sick and injured animals that come into our care every year.
We are more than just a wildlife rescue charity. We are also committed to inspiring and educating people in regards to the respect, care and good practices towards wildlife. Our team also regularly hold talks, workshops, attend events and demonstrates good animal care practices via its social media outlets too.

Wildlife First Aid & Treatment
All patients are triaged and given First Aid at our casualty centre based in Blewbury.
We have veterinary volunteers who are able to put patients on specific treatment and care regimes.
We also work with many veterinary practices across the counties, enabling our patients to be X-Rayed or have major orthopaedic work done within small timeframes.
Wildlife Rehabilitation
Once the patient is well enough, and has finished all medication or hospital treatment, they are then moved to an outdoors enclosure, pen or flight aviary to allow them valuable exercise space in order to build up enough strength in preparation for life back in the wild.
We have a range of facilities comprising of rehabilitation areas of different shapes, sizes and suitability onsite that allows the charity to deliver the care and safety for over 200 different UK wildlife species.
Wildlife Education
We provide catered wildlife workshops and education sessions to both children and adults. We offer engaging workshops for schools, colleges, groups, clubs and we also hold First Aid talks for members of the public who wish to learn and gain an insight into the work we do here at OWR.
Orphaned Wildlife
Misplaced young wild animals, are regularly presented to us as orphaned. However we will always attempt to reunite them with their mothers where it is possible to do so. Failing this, they are then deemed to be orphans and are cared for by our dedicated care team at our wildlife casualty centre in Blewbury.
