A family run Charity lookingĀ after British Wild Hedgehogs. Based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. FoundedĀ in April 2015.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP WILD BRITISH HEDGEHOGS
We often have opportunities for volunteers to get directly involved with helping us. We have volunteers who help us with looking after the hedgehogs, with educational talks and group visits, with stalls, awareness campaigns, maintaining buildings used for the hedgehogs and other smaller projects, and more.
Once we are in need of help, we will contact those that have registered their interest. This may be straight away or a few months away. If you have a keen interest in hedgehogs why not register your interest.
Please note that the majority of volunteer work will require you to be local to Harpenden in Hertfordshire. Having transport will help but not all positions need you to travel.
