What difference will you make?

We are a small volunteer run charity that has rescued over 200 otter cubs. It takes around a year and costs around £3500 to rehabilitate one otter cub and release it back into the wild. Volunteers at UKWOT play a key role in ensuring the charity can rescue otter cubs and raise awareness about Eurasian otters.
