Over the last few years we have had quite a few enquiries from people asking how to leave Knoxwood a gift in their Will.
So we've partnered with FreeWills to provide all our supporters with the opportunity to make their own fully comprehensive Will for free. You can make your personalised Will online in three simple steps, from the comfort of your own home and with live support from their Will specialists.
This means that you can make a will for free and leave Knoxwood a gift if you desire with the added bonus that this service also costs Knoxwood nothing!

I have done 14 hours in the Wildlife hospital so far today and I am still going, I haven't been able to answer your messages as we have a key member of our team off sick and we are slammed with incoming creatures. If you have injured wildlife please bring it in between 8am and 8pm, no need to call or message first, just bring it.
If you are waiting for an update, we will get back to you ASAP.
