Northumbrian Hedgehog Rescue Longframlington
In the UK, since the 1950s we have lost over 95% of our hedgehogs! Estimates now show there are less than 1 million resident” - David Wembridge, People's Trust for Endangered Species
Northumbrian Hedgehog Rescue Trust, Longframlington
Our aim is to relieve the suffering and distress of hedgehogs in need of care and attention by providing a rescue, care and rehabilitation service for sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs with the aim of releasing them back into the wild wherever possible.
Carole Catchpole is dedicated to these beautiful creatures who in their time of need
have somewhere safe to recovery from their trauma.
She is based locally in Longframlington and many service users from NTW have volunteered throughout the years to provide support to her and her wonderful charity.
Their policy has been and will remain to always help a hedgehog in need and never refuse sanctuary. They now care for approximately 400 hedgehogs annually and frequently overwinter 100 plus.
“Any hedgehog brought to us is treated free of charge, although we do appreciate donations which help us continue this important work”
“The Rescue Centre has continued to grow so that now as well as the indoor accommodation, we also have three specialist gardens including an outside area specifically designed to enable amputees or disabled hedgehogs that cannot be safely released back to the wild, to live in natural conditions but be cared for 365 days a year”
A message from Syed Ali:
“Hedgehogs are the most adorable animals and one which should be cherished and cared for, I want future generations to see hedgehogs in the wild and they need YOUR help now, Thank you for your kind donation”
