Volunteering with Prickles & Paws

If you love hedgehogs and have a few hours spare each week, why not consider volunteering for us? Our amazing volunteers have a huge impact by helping us care for the hedgehogs, keeping them clean and healthy. In addition to handling hedgehogs you will also enjoy a discount on our Prickles and Paws clothing range. We are also happy to provide references for future job applications if required.
