Northumbrian Hedgehog Rescue is made up of volunteers who are all enthusiastic about
helping hedgehogs, now an endangered species.
Our aims are to further the conservation and preservation of the species, and to relieve the suffering and distress of individual hedgehogs in need.
On this site you will find details of the practical steps we take to rescue and rehabilitate hedgehogs.
Did you know that back in the 1950's there were 30 million hedgehogs and this year it is estimated we have less than 1 million in all the UK? For more information see the PTES website. Help us to reverse this trend so that we do not lose these delightful creatures.
If you have found a hedgehog in need, please go to FIRST RESPONSE. Every hour counts!
And A GREAT BIG Thank You to all our supporters who have kindly donated money or goods for our fundraising:
