We believe that if a hedgehog is showing willingness to survive then we will do everything we can to give it that chance, so long as it is humane to do so.
We do not believe that cost should be prohibative to the quality of care that hedgehogs in our care receive but this does mean that the costs of treatment, medication, food, bedding and equipment quickly add up!
Donations are so important to help us continue offering this level of care to these wonderful creatures.
There are many ways to donate to us, some of which can be done without spending any extra money. All support is very much appreciated.
You can donate directly to us here – click here
If you are a UK tax payer we may also be able to claim Gift Aid on your donation – meaning we can claim 25p for each £1 you have donated at no additional cost to you. We would appreciate if you can complete the Gift Aid form here.

We regularly update our wishlist with the items we are currently most in need of to care for our hedgehogs, using our wishlist allows items to be posted directly to the rescue
Occasionally we are in need of donations of particular items, for example a particular type of dish sold at christmas time containing things like cheese or pate, once emptied, is perfect for holding hedgehog water dishes that they would otherwise tip over.
If we are running low on items like this, we will put out a request on our Facebook Page
