About Us

Dedicated to Norfolk’s Wildlife: Giving Every Animal a Second Chance

Wild Touch is a volunteer-led rescue and rehabilitation center committed to the protection, care, and return of our local wildlife to the wild.
Without peace, development gains do not hold. Without peace, delivering humanitarian aid risks further suffering. Without peace, people have more difficulty exercising agency, seizing opportunity, and realizing their full potential. Peace enables trust and provides the foundation for collaboration to solve complex problems. It allows people to look past differences, have difficult conversations, take shared risks, find common ground, and invest in pathways towards a shared future.

Our Story

From Local Passion to Lifesaving Action Body

Wild Touch was born from a simple belief: that every injured or orphaned animal deserves expert care and a path back to nature. What started as a small local effort has grown into a dedicated rescue service for Norfolk. We combine years of hands-on experience with a deep love for our local ecosystem to ensure our wild neighbors thrive.

Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release

Our work is built on three core pillars that guide every decision we make.

Expert Care

Using specialist knowledge to provide the best medical and nutritional support.

Commitment to Wildness

Ensuring animals remain wild during their recovery so they can survive post-release.

Community Connection

Inspiring the next generation through education to value and protect Norfolk’s natural heritage.

Dedicated to Ethical Wildlife Care

We pride ourselves on professionalism and transparency. Wild Touch is fully insured and operates with all necessary animal exhibit licenses. Our team works closely with local vets and ecological experts to maintain the highest standards of animal welfare and public safety.
