"Each and every one of us has the ability to look at an animal and see if that animal is in pain. And if an animal is in pain, surely if we are human – if we are caring, thinking people – surely it is our responsibility to try to do whatever we can to stop that suffering."

John Hicks, IAR Founder

United Kingdom

The head office of International Animal Rescue is in Uckfield, East Sussex in the UK.

Alan Knight OBE and rescued bear cub Chief Executive Alan Knight is based in Uckfield and was awarded an OBE for his services to animal welfare in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in June 2006. IAR’s international projects are planned, coordinated and overseen by Alan and his team at head office. All publicity and fundraising activity is conducted from this office and our network of supporters in the UK is constantly growing. As well as supporting IAR’s work through individual gifts, many donors also organise their own fundraising events and activities to generate additional funds. IAR maintains a small dedicated team to keep administrative costs down and devote as much money as possible to the rescue and rehabilitation of the numerous wild and domestic animals in need of our help.

Rescued kittens IAR’s main projects are currently based in India, Indonesia and Malta. In the UK we help marine wildlife in distress by providing an office and full administrative service for British Divers Marine Life Rescue.

Through Catastrophes Cat Rescue in Sussex, IAR gives sanctuary to abandoned and unwanted cats and also conducts sterilisation and vaccination trips in Europe where there is a need to stabilise populations of feral cats and prevent the spread of disease.

© Uist Hedgehog Rescue IAR is also a founder member of Uist Hedgehog Rescue (UHR) which campaigned for an end to the needless slaughter of hedgehogs on the islands of Uist. Scottish Natural Heritage announced a suspension of the cull in February 2007 in favour of a translocation trial.
