Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We admitted 414 hedgehogs into the hospital, of which 305 were able to be released back into the wild.

We put in place safe working practices for our carers and volunterrs during the Covid 19 pandemic. Finders of hedgehogs were able to drop hedgehogs off to the hospital in a timely and safe manner.

As all our normal fundraising activities and events were cancelled we had to find alternative sources of income. This included a fundraiser on JustGiving which raised £7,000 and we received other generous donations. This money was earmarked for an upgrade of our facilities.

The members of the Friends of Help a Hedgehog Hospital donated funds for our general running costs and also folowers on Facebook made gifts of food and consumables via the Wishlist.

Our annual hedgehog calendar raised £1800 from sales and sponsorship.

We were able to make improvements to our hospital in Tetbury and pay a deposit towards the new headquarters in Brimscombe, with work done in the following financial year.
