Raising Money and Awareness for the protection of an Endangered Species and National Icon

Up the Creek without a paddle

Hedgehogs are facing a rapid decline and are now classified as a Red Line Endangered species. Every year, countless hedgehogs are injured, orphaned, or struggle to find safe habitats due to road traffic, loss of natural spaces, and environmental pressures. Our campaign, “Up the Creek Without a Paddle”, aims to provide immediate care, protection, and support to these vulnerable creatures. Your donation will help us: Rescue and rehabilitate injured or orphaned hedgehogs, Create and maintain safe, hedgehog-friendly environments, Educate communities on how to protect local hedgehog populations By contributing, you’re giving hedgehogs a fighting chance to survive and thrive.


What do I do if I find a hedgehog out during the day?

Do not assume the hedgehog is fine just because it appears mobile. Many injuries/internal issues are not obvious.

Do not feed inappropriate foods like bread and milk (Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant) as this can worsen their condition.

Do not treat it as a pet – wild animal care is specialised and keeping wild hedgehogs without a license is illegal.

Ring us and we’ll guide you through it.
