ABOUT US
Rescuing Hedgehogs Since 1988
Hedgehog Helpline is a Hedgehog Rescue in South Wales, we are a Vet lead rescue, ensuring all hedgehogs receive the highest care possible.
In addition we run a National telephone helpline to support finders/vets/rescues across the UK.
We rescue sick injured and orphaned native hedgehogs from across South Wales with the aim of releasing them back into the wild.
Hedgehog Helpline was founded in 1988 and registered as a charity in 1995. We are run and lead entirely by volunteers who donate their time to assist in protecting this wonderful species who in 2020 were placed on the red list for Britain’s mammals as vulnerable to extinction.
We have seen their numbers plummet over the past 40 years, although the exact figures are not know.
