The Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust is a charity (Registered Charity 1091857) dedicated to the rescue, care, treatment and rehabilitation of injured wild animals and birds.

On November 30th 2009, the Trust's planning application for a new wildlife hospital was submitted to Wealden District Council. It will now take some 8 weeks for this to be considered, so we do not expect to hear the result until January 2010.

The site of the proposed hospital is in Fairview Lane, Tunbridge Wells, just off the A26 at Eridge Green. Covering some 5 acres, the Trust believes it will be ideal for its needs, being in a rural but not isolated position.

During the application's consultation period, which ran until December 23rd, more than 200 letters and comments of support were posted on Wealden District council's website. There were no objections to the application.

This year alone we've admitted nearly 3500 casualties including 57 badgers, 7 deer, 550 hedgehogs and thousands of birds, so the new hospital is very badly needed.
