Please help our Fylde coast wildlife charity, we are drowning in debt
“We have been struggling to make ends meet for a few months now as well.”
An animal charity which helps protect the wildlife at Stanley Park has issued an urgent appeal for cash after ‘drowning’ in bills and ‘struggling to make ends meet’.
Brambles Wildlife Rescue is a small, volunteer-run wildlife rehabilitation service based in Ribchester and Longridge that helps protect animals across Lancashire. They have a particular focus on Stanley Park, leading the protection of the area’s swans and marine life alongside Blackpool Council.
Unfortunately, due to unexpected costs and a tough month, Brambles now finds itself in over £1100 worth of debt. They have issued an urgent appeal for donations from residents across the Fylde coast, and face closure if the money isn’t paid off by the end of the month.
Mel Greenhalgh, co-owner of Brambles Wildlife Rescue, explained: “We are drowning, and with donations down, myself and Justin have to be realistic that we have no funds to swallow these bills up on top of the additional ordinary running costs.
“We have been struggling to make ends meet for a few months now as well. We desperately need to raise an additional £1196.41 to cover these bills this month, or realistically we face closure to new admissions until next year to catch up financially.

“It makes us so sad to consider this. This is our last ditch chance to remain fully open. If you can help us, please do.”
Mel and Justin are pleading for donations, and ask that anyone who can spare money- no matter how small- to help. Details for donations can be found below:
