HEDGEHOG HELPLINE 

Hedgehog Helpline operates in South East Wales only. During the financial year we received 1225 hedgehogs . In addition we received in excess of 3500 calls about other hedgehogs. We attended 37 events/venues to give talks etc about our work, how to help hedgehogs in their natural surroundings, why they are declining and how to help if one is found in need.
