After another manic weekend of fundraising we have a couple of weeks of trying to get the rescue back to normal after the open days and events. The rescue costs around £80,000 a year to run and like everything else at the moment our costs are rising.

Over the weekend we went past the same number of admissions as we took in the whole of last year, we have now taken in 546 hedgehogs and still have the busy autumn season to really kick off.

Some of our 5 admitted over the weekend, from Longlevens and Matson.

We have now also reached the 2 year mark of knowing and dealing with the Hedgehog Arterivirus on such a big scale. With the autumn juveniles coming in it’s still very much in the wild population, but we continue to do our best, aim to help and support other rescues and continue to learn.

All set up at the Quays for the last Orchard Street Market of the year.

What a day yesterday was, even with technical issues, volunteer sickness, and the rain, we shared our love of hedgehogs with all that came.

It was such a lovely day and we were all so busy that we didn’t have time to take many photos so if you took any please pop some in the comments.

But what you have been waiting for! The total taken yesterday and the pre-booking income has given us a total of £6210.

We will be in contact from tomorrow with our raffle winners as at the moment we have to get everything from yesterday back into storage today.

An amazing amount and very much needed to help us continue to help our local hedgehogs.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Anyone who couldn’t come we’re at the Orchard Street Market at the weekend in Gloucester Quays

A crazy start to the open day not helped by the beloved technology issues! But sorted.

Hospital access is nearly fully booked for the day and we have tried our best to add spaces where we can.

Martha has been to say hi to our new neighbours

We have added more time slots this year and also more online booking places, but they have all gone.

You can still get places on the day but these are limited.

There will still be lots to do on the day with Refreshments, Raffle, Tombola, Games, Crafting, Martha’s Hedgehog Dangers Obstacle Course ( New) and lots of new stock for that early Christmas shopping or just a hedgehog themed treat! You can never have too many of those 🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 🦔🦔🦔
