This financial year was another record year for admissions with 716
hedgehogs taken in the year.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
In January we found a premises within 8rocthorth that we agreed to
rent, we had to do a lot of work changing the new premises into a
hedgehog rescue with a sh0p1re￿pti0n area, a toilet for the volunteers, a
volunteer kitchen, a hedgehog kitchen, a treatment room as well as
larger area for the hosprtal area.
For the first time we have applied for grants to help with running costs
and projects such as new Gages.
By the end of the year, we had over 40 volunteers with more needed.
The new rescue will mean that we can take in more hedgehogs and stay
open when due to hedgehog numbers in the past we had to close lo
admissiona when full.
The plan for 2024 is to raise funds for more of the cages we already have
to increase the capacty.
