## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From** 01/01/2021 **Period start date To** 31/12/2021 **Period end date** ## **Charity name: HEDGEPIGS** ## **Charity registration number: 1189906** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of

specifically Hedgehogs, by providing appropriate
care, protection, treatment and security for
those who are in need of rescue, care and
attention through sickness, maltreatment, poor
circumstances or ill use. To provide advice and
education to the general public concerning
hedgehog welfare, highlighting the need to
alleviate cruelty and suffering by increasing the

activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Charity is run entirely by volunteers. The

whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|Yes| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Number of Hedgehogs admitted to the
rescue in the specified time frame: 106
Of this,
Number of Hedgehogs released: 70
Number of Hedgehogs died while in the
rescue: 22
Number of Hedgehogs euthanised in
agreement with Veterinary experts: 14
66% of hedgehogs admitted to the rescue
were released to the location, or as near as
possible to the location, where they were
found.
Had the rescue not taken in these
hedgehogs, it is highly probably that they
would have died or all been put to sleep.
This has not only helped the hedgehogs, but
also the people who have found them, as
many members of the public are in a state of
mental distress when they call to arrange to
bring in a sick or injured hedgehog. The
charity, has caused people to feel relief at
being able to take the animals somewhere
that will help them and ensure they won’t
suffer.| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
