Welcome
Please see bottom of page for details of reception and telephone service times.
Welcome to the website of the Riverside Animal Centre, part of The London Wildcare Trust. Our charity was founded in the mid nineties, amidst humble beginings in a small suburban semi and has since grown to become one of the most highly respected animal welfare organizations in the region. You can find out more about our history by clicking on the green logo on the right of the page.
Our core activity remains the provision of care, treatment and rehabilitaion for almost 4000 sick, injured and orphaned wild animals every year. Most of our smaller patients such as birds, hedgehogs and squirrels arrive via members of the public in a cardboard box and our hospital is open to receive such cases every day of the year at the times published below. To find out more about our work with wildlife, please click on the light blue logo on the right of the page
We also provide a range of services for domestic animals including attendance at serious incidents where no owner is present, responding to urgent situations involving stray or abandoned animals and provision of assistance to the emergency services in the event of a major incident or disaster. We do not take in unwanted animals but our reception staff may be able to provide owners with local contacts in the event that they need to rehome their pet. For more details about our work with domestic animals, please click on the red logo on the right.
Other links on this site will keep you up to date with our latest news, tell you about the many ways in which you can help us and provide you with a diary of events being run at the centre.
There is also information about our unique Pet Lifeline Scheme as well as links to pages for kids and for those looking to visit us for educational purposes.
Finally, below you will find full details of the times we are open and how to contact us to report an emergency.
Thanks for your visit and we hope you enjoy reading about our work and decide to become one of our supporters....without their help, none of this would be possible.
Thank you, Ted Burden, Founder.
