Up the Creek without a paddle
Hedgehogs are facing a rapid decline and are now classified as a Red Line Endangered species. Every year, countless hedgehogs are injured, orphaned, or struggle to find safe habitats due to road traffic, loss of natural spaces, and environmental pressures. Our campaign, “Up the Creek Without a Paddle”, aims to provide immediate care, protection, and support to these vulnerable creatures. Your donation will help us: Rescue and rehabilitate injured or orphaned hedgehogs, Create and maintain safe, hedgehog-friendly environments, Educate communities on how to protect local hedgehog populations By contributing, you’re giving hedgehogs a fighting chance to survive and thrive.
Partnering with our charity is an investment in the health of your local environment.
Your support directly funds the rescue, treatment and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned hedgehogs, helping to protect a species that has suffered significant population declines across the UK. Together, we can give vulnerable wildlife a second chance while inspiring local communities to value and care for the natural world.
A partnership with our charity demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to environmental stewardship, biodiversity and community engagement. As a registered UK charity, qualifying corporate donations may also be eligible for Corporation Tax relief.
What do I do if I find a hedgehog out during the day?
Do not assume the hedgehog is fine just because it appears mobile. Many injuries/internal issues are not obvious.
Do not feed inappropriate foods like bread and milk (Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant) as this can worsen their condition.
Do not treat it as a pet – wild animal care is specialised and keeping wild hedgehogs without a license is illegal.
Ring us and we’ll guide you through it.

We’re thrilled to share “The Biscuit Bandits of Appletree Cottage”
a delightful story written and donated by author Julia Farber to help raise funds for Andrews Hedgehog Hospital.
Every copy sold helps us care for sick and injured hedgehogs and release them safely back into the wild.
