We'd like to thank all the children's groups who attended our Hedgehog Educational & Awareness Talks this year. It was a fantastic year with lots of visits from schools and organised children's groups.
In all 2,465 local children attended learning all about our hedgehogs in 2022. This brings the total number of local children to date that have attended these talks to over 8,465 :D That's a lot of potential helping hands for our hedgehogs!!!!
They learned why hedgehogs need our help and how the children can actively make small changes to benefit the hedgehogs :D Well done all and also a huge thank you to all the very kindly donated jelly based dog and cat food the groups donated to the hedgehogs! A special thanks to all the group organisers and teachers :)
We are now closed for visits to the sanctuary but will open up again in Spring 2023!
