Cuan House Wildlife Rescue How it all started... Back in 1990, Megan lived on the small island of Luing, off the West Coast of Scotland, where she carried out "beached bird surveys" for the RSPB. Whilst this basically meant recording any dead birds, the locals took it that she was interested in any birds and started to bring her injured live ones for her ministrations! When she moved to Much Wenlock, she contacted the RSPCA to see what services were available in the area for injured wildlife. It was apparent that, except for medical services from the veterinary centres, there was little available and so she started her rehabilitation centre which has continued to grow over the years. The Rescue Centre currently treats up to 1,500 casualties a year. The facilities are all purpose built to meet the needs of any wildlife casualty that may be brought in, at any time of the day or night. The centre is run by Megan and her full time assistant Carolyn Howard, backed up by a team of dedicated and hard working volunteers.   What we do... Cuan House Wildlife Rescue became a registered charity in 2003. Its mission statement is: To relieve the suffering of sick wild animals by: a) Rescuing, caring for and rehabilitating injured, orphaned or distressed wild animals. b) To advance the education of the public in the care and rehabilitation of wild animals. c) To undertake research or assist others undertaking research in the field of wildlife rehabilitation.   Who we are... Charity Administration: Patron Following the sad death of our first patron, Lady Dugdale, we are delighted to welcome His Honour Michael Mander DL as our new patron. A long time supporter of Cuan House, he is also one of the transport team, often releasing birds for us (particularly water-birds) and doing the odd hedgehog rescue, so we felt he had a good knowledge of the organisation. He and his wife Jancis also support us by attending our events whenever they can. Founder and Correspondent Megan Morris-Jones Treasurer and Secretary Megan Morris-Jones Trustees Jim Ashley (Chairman) Doug Hughes Jeff Davis   Credits... Thanks go to Megan's family for their unswerving support; Carolyn Howard; our student helpers and our reliable, committed volunteer team. These wonderful people fulfil a vital role in assisting with the daily feeding and mundane cleaning out - particularly of the outside pens, aviaries and sheds... In the summer, when we are at our busiest, the work is interesting and varied, but in the winter when it is cold and wet, we are grateful to those who continue to help out throughout those less exciting and unglamorous months!

Wildlife the charity has treated this year includes: Ducks, Swans, Other Water Birds, Raptors, Owls, Game Birds, Corvids, Pigeons, Doves, Garden Birds, Hedgehogs, Badgers, Squirrels, Otters, Foxes, Deer, Bats, Rabbits and many other species.
