We are Dorset Hedgehog Rescue, a small volunteer-led charity dedicated to saving and rehabilitating hedgehogs in need.

This autumn, we’re facing an urgent challenge — more hedgehogs than ever need our help.

Extreme weather and food shortages have left many mothers struggling to feed their young, leading to a heartbreaking surge in abandoned hoglets. Without specialist care, these tiny babies won’t survive the winter.

We urgently need your support to purchase three new incubators and six mother-and-baby recovery cages. These will give orphaned and weak hedgehogs the warmth, safety, and care they need to grow strong and be released back into the wild in spring.

Every donation — big or small — directly helps us save lives and give these precious creatures a second chance. Together, we can help Dorset’s hedgehogs heal and thrive.
