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 eXperIen￿d 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.
