Ben the bald badger

10:14am Friday 29th April 2005

A bald badger named Ben is the newest patient of a wildlife sanctuary desperately in need of more cash.

Ben, who is completely bald except for some facial hair, was found in Farleigh Road and rescued by the London Wildlife Hospital (LWH) in Wallington.

The LWH is holding an open day on May 7 between 11am and 4pm when visitors can see Ben and some of the hospital's other patients.

Donations should be sent to London Wildlife Hospital, Beddington Park, Church Road, Wallington SM6 7NN.

To contact the LWH call 020 8647 6230.
