- Did you know that by saving 100 hedgehogs a year, in 10 years’ time, those 100 could have gone on to produce a further 35,000! Helping every animal, helps protect & grow the population of the species as a whole! 4 days left… #helpourhedgehogs

- Can saving one hedgehog really make a difference? After factoring in all factors (and a lot of working out!) we found that one hedgehog could produce 350 progeny in 10 years. If 10 centres rescued just 100 animals that would be 3.5million by 2028. That's a difference to me.
- We don't think anyone could blame poor "Chef" for trying to ditch the winter blues by sneaking into someone’s kitchen. Missing more than half of his fur, "Chef" has obviously got a bad case of mange. He’ll be with us for a few weeks whilst he recovers 🦊🧡
- Today, we celebrated Simon’s life - his achievements and the lives he touched, human and animal. Forever grateful for the path he chose to walk, his commitment to nature, and his passion for creating a better world. From us all, with so much love.
