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.

The Hogspital

The build is underway! The site has been cleared, water and electric supplies have been brought in and we have completed the piling (foundations). Groundworks are done and our builders, Warvena Construction, are making great progress with our first unit, Building A! Now we need to fundraise for the internal fit-out so that we are ready for the move in January 2026. Learn more about the project and donate here.
