WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Swan Lifeline is the oldest registered charity devoted entirely to the care of sick and injured swans in the Thames Valley and surrounding area. Originally known as Save Our Swans (SOS), it was founded in 1984 by a small group that had already long been involved with swan rescue and treatment. To read more please see our About Us page. This website offers an insight into who we are, what we do and how you can help, but more importantly it raises public awareness of the man-made problems facing our beautiful swans. We aim to update this website regularly, so please keep coming back to check on the latest Press Relseases and up-and-coming Events. Swans are protected birds under the Act For Swans 1576.

We are delighted to announce that Mark Hunter M.B.E the Olympic Gold Medallist rower has agreed to become a patron.
Mark visited the centre in January to see at first hand the work done there and was shown round by Wendy Hermon the centre co-ordinator. He said ‘ As someone who uses the waterways a great deal I sometimes see swans with injuries and it is great to know that there are people dedicated to their welfare. I also appreciate the fantastic work they do caring for swans during regattas and competitions’.
Wendy said ‘Who knows we may call on him for a rescue one day although tactics may be more important than speed’ |
