Fantastic experience: What a privilege to volunteer at brent lodge wildlife hospital I am from Waterhaven Place Care Home in Chichester and have been volunteering at brent lodge I would like to give a big and huge thank you for their hospitality and kindness they have shown me from the management to all the wonderful staff members I would also like to say thank you for all the work you do

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful place Brent Lodge is, such as friendly staff, and the care injury wildlife is getting is great. Waterhaven Place Care organised volunteering obortunites at Brent Lodge. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. If you are passionate about wildlife and looking for volunteering opportunities Brent Lodge is the best place for you

Fantastic experience: Extremely responsive staff when I called to ask if I could bring this little guy in. They were on the case immediately! What incredible work they do. I phoned again a few days later to check on his status. He was on antibiotics for his skin infections and being fed and watered, etc. The lady was so helpful and kind. Thank you, and keep up the wonderful work!

Fantastic experience: Always helpful and informative

Fantastic experience: Helping the wildlife

Fantastic experience: We didn't see the wildlife, but we were dropping off some more donations. This is a fantastic charity, and all animal and wildlife fans should help them with items they need to keep doing what they do.

Negative experience: Very very dissapointed. Not really bothered, pleading poverty. Nature will take its course for the poor adult seagull in my garden.

Negative experience: Lady phone to report a injury swan who had hit a roof/wall, we manage to catch her rush where that vet said she probably has head trauma but needed a specialist wildlife vet, where another wildlife rescue took her to brett lodge within hours she was return to only drown herself in the water. And the rescue person to say at least she died water the water then place her in a black bag. As if she was rubbish. This upset a couple of holiday makers a young child who witness this... I'm disgusted with the way brett lodge vet knew she had head trauma had not been watched to see if she could walk either. Brett lodge clearly don't know on how to treat and look after swan or bigger birds. As I've heard from few places there not good with swans or bigger birds I will be avoiding using them in future to help these beautiful birds. I was horrific to witness myself but what got me was the lack of empathy "well at least she past away in the water" no if there vet had look at her would of clearly see she hit her head. The non wildlife vet knew this why didn't a wildlife vet see this. She hit a wall. She need a good day for an assessment not a few hours. Now her babies do have the cob looking after them but with bit of care. There mum may of been return in better way. Please think before you choice brett lodge for swans after yesterday experience I would not recommend them.

Fantastic experience: My Friend and I came across a small uninjured gosling in the road in Arundel Town centre. We were unable to locate the parent (or siblings) After searching for some time. We took it home and placed the young bird in a box and phoned Brent Lodge who were brilliant giving advice and advised us to take it to their Siddlesham hospital to be isolated and given a check up before being released back into the wild once they were certain the bird was ready to be released. Thanks to all Brent Lodge volunteers especially to June who greated us on arrival and took care of our little friend so well.

Fantastic experience: The lady dealing with my visit was absolutely amazing. I called after they had closed, however, she patiently waited whilst I brought in a very badly injured baby Hedghog. The hedgehog had been born and raised in my garden and found by a neighbour very unwell. I was so thankful that the member of staff was still willing to help. She took him in straight away and explained his injuries to me. She also said she would call a vet ASAP as wasn't happy leaving him over night. Unfortunately when I called the next day they told me he had to be put to sleep. Really thankful for Brent lodges help and the genuine care they gave.
