Shanwell Wildlife Rescue Trust (SWRT), which is a registered Scottish charity No SC035980, was established in 2004 in Broughty Ferry, Dundee on the North East of Scotland to provide a frontline rescue and treatment service for injured wild animals. Our aim is to heal every animal capable of surviving its injuries and return it back to its natural environment, while giving those who will not survive, a comfortable and dignified death. Shanwell Wildlife Rescue Trust is operated by volunteers who do not receive payment for their services, our common commitment is for the welfare of wildlife and the environments in which they live.

As you can imagine the costs involved with running Shanwell Wildlife Rescue and caring for sick and injured animals is very expensive. Our volunteers are dedicated, but the costs of animal foods and medicines and the upkeep of our centre and rescue ambulance is extremely high. As a charity which does not receive any government or local authority funding we are dependant upon financial donations from the public and local businesses to help us continue to provide our services.
With YOUR support, Shanwell Wildlife Rescue will continue to help sick wild animals.
If you feel that you would like to support us please make a donation.
This can be done in a variety of ways:-
