HELP BUILD OUR NEW HOGSPITAL

Cornwall needs a bespoke hedgehog hospital or rather ‘hogspital’! With over 1,400 hedgehogs admitted a year the rescue must expand to ensure we never have to turn a hedgehog away.

Wildly close: help us finish our hedgehog hospital

Our Crowdfunder has now closed and we exceeded our initial target of £6,500, achieving an amazing £8,428. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed.

We are putting the finishing touches to the building and planning the Big Move for February.


👉 You can still donate to the project here.
