Folly Wildlife Calendar

The Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust has launched a new fund raising venture.

It's a calendar for 2026 called  ‘A Year at Folly’.

The wildlife centre says that every month the calendar "tells a story of survival, hope, and second chances".

Last year the centre raised over £ 300,000 to avert its closure after it suffered a financial crisis.

100% of the proceeds from sales of the calendar will go directly to the work Folly does for wildlife in Kent & East Sussex.

Members of the public can take injured animals to the centre.

If you have found an injured, orphaned or distressed animal, you can contact them on 01892 543213.

Situated in the heart of The Broadwater Forest, Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust is a charity dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife in West Kent, East Sussex and the surrounding region.

Started over 30 years ago by Annette and Dave Risley, the charity has now grown into a dedicated wildlife hospital providing specialist care and treatment, whilst remaining committed to raising awareness about the plight of wildlife and what people can do to help.

Open for admissions 365 days of the year, Folly takes in all native wildlife species, including birds, hedgehogs, rabbits, badgers, rodents, amphibians and much more.
