AFTER 12 years HART Wildlife Trust is no longer operating from its address at Dellands, Overton, and is closed to all new admissions.

HART founder June Gibbs has stated on the website that in spite of the increasing pressures she endured through the ever increasing workload, her main reason for stopping is to look after her elderly mother.

The creatures currently being cared for by the trust will be released as soon as possible.

The trustees have had a meeting to discuss the future of the trust, and the intention is that all existing fundraising operations will continue with the funds being channelled into building the new hospital and education centre, particularly through the Alton shop and website.

The trust hopes that the RSPCA and other wildlife charities will be able to offer help until they resume operations from an alternative site.

It will continue offering advice and information on wildlife care through the website and by visiting schools and other organisations.

In the meantime, any casualties should be taken to the nearest vets as the Dellands site no longer has the facilities to deal with them.
