Each year, W4W receives thousands of urgent requests for rescues and advice involving sick, injured, orphaned or displaced wildlife. This vital work is powered by enthusiastic volunteers and generous supporters like you. Our network of dedicated volunteers drives every step - from answering our rescue phone to rescuing and transporting wildlife to a vet or registered shelter.
Wildlife shelters and foster carers operate with little to no government funding, relying entirely on community support to provide life-saving treatment and prepare animals for a safe return to the wild.
By stepping up as a volunteer phone operator or rescuer, you’re not just helping our wildlife - you’re also supporting shelters, freeing up their time to focus on what they do best: caring for animals.
Volunteers shape their own path with us, and commitment levels are entirely up to you. Flexible hours that fit your life, with any level of participation making a real difference.
