Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year This financial year was another record year for admissions with 958 hedgehogs taken in the year. Due to grant funding we have increased the capacity of the rescue and now have over 90 cages. During 2024 the rescue started to experience high levels of deaths with the hedgehogs. after starting to work with the APHAI DEFRA it was confirmed that the area we cover has extremely high levels of a hedgehog Arterivirus, the virus was first detected in another local rescue in 2019 and it was treated as an outbreak in that rescue. Sadly, what we have eXperIend and are still dealing with is a virus that is in the wild population and we can have multiple admissions from multiple locations admitted daily with the virus. We continue to work with the APHIDEFRA along wÉth our vets to help us all learn more about the virus and to try and find a treatment for those who Gannot fight it. At the moment there is no cure, although so far in 2025 we are finding more hedgehogs are carrying the virus but not becoming ill or dying from it. Section E TAR Financial review March 2012
