Winter Wildlife Appeal
Simon Cowell MBE
Simon was one of the UK’s most respected conservationists and a passionate advocate for wildlife protection and environmental causes. He dedicated his life to British wildlife and worked tirelessly to ensure countless injured and orphaned animals were given a second chance in the wild through rescue, clinical treatment, and rehabilitation.
He campaigned relentlessly to raise awareness of the plight of wildlife and the importance of all species.
Simon believed that every animal matters. He was committed to redressing the damage man has done to the environment. He was passionate about the importance of environmental education and hopeful for a future in which man respects and protects the natural world.
His loss will be greatly felt by his loved ones, 2-legged and 4-legged, alike.

Rescue Stories
For over 40 years, we have been saving British wildlife. From ‘patient zero’ - a one-winged gull bought to our founder in 1980 - to the thousands of creatures we now rescue and treat, every year, our experience and expertise in UK wild animal care is unrivalled.
You can read about our current patients, below, and see some of them on our very popular live webcams.
We deal with 20,000 wildlife emergencies each year, rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing sick, injured or orphaned UK wildlife.
Our wildlife needs your help
Welcome to the future. The Wildlife Aid Centre is the biggest and boldest project the Wildlife Aid Foundation has ever embarked on. It will be our legacy and it’s happening, now.
