Northumbrian Hedgehog Rescue Trust

What amazing folks!We rang to say we had a small hedgehog in our garden who was coming out in daylight hours to feed and were given advice how to weigh him. If he was underweight, they would happily take him as he may not survive the Winter.The next day, our lovely neighbour, Derek, guided him down the footpath to our house in case he was run over. We then weighed him (that took three of us!) and he was very small so we put him into a large Naked Wine box with bedding, food and water until the next day when the Rescue Centre was open.Later that evening, another baby appeared at the feeding station, so he was also placed in a wine delivery box for the night (just as well I like my Naked Wine, isn't it?)I called the Rescue Centre the next morning and they were more than happy to take both of our babies... Hurray!When we arrived, the ladies had incubators switched on ready for our lads' arrival and the place was a hive of activity - it was like a busy A and E department. The boys were weighed, inspected and placed into the incubators.We were very impressed with the skill and efficiency, as well as the care given by the crew.The lads will receive care over the winter and will be released in the Spring. We were offered them back and would have loved to have taken them but it's just not safe enough so head had to rule heartThank you folks for all you do for our prickly friends - it's a better world because of people like you!Love from Alison and Bob xxxxxx

Lovely caring people looking after hedgehogs in need of care. Dropped Hermes off with them, couldn't be in better hands. Call before going as parking and hours limited.

This place is unbelievable Carole who runs this place is a amazing woman what she and the team do. Which I will also mention they are all voluntary employees

My little mite Babe is in great hands... when he is big enough he is coming to his forever garden home with ME.....

The team here are absolutely fantastic with their care and advise! Have helped me several times. Please remember to give them a donation if you can.

Everyone was so kind and helpful. Thank you to Liz who directed me when I got lost trying to find the place. Left the little hog in good hands I was confident that little “Millie” was going to get the best of care. Thank you all

Excellent hedgehog rescue service supported by skilled and dedicated volunteers. Caring for dozens of sick or injured hedgehogs from the area. Only open to the public from 9am to midday, but providing care round the clock. Very helpful and knowledgeable with our sick hedgehog.

Cannot thank the centre enough for helping me hopefully save Gary the hedgehog. After seeing him twice out through the day I knew something wasn’t right. Then last night I came home to him on the grass and birds trying to peck him! Took him straight in the house and tried him on water and dog food. He seems very weak and not moving very much. The ladies at the centre were absolutely fantastic! Given him Help immediately. They were so friendly and I could see how caring they were towards all the hedgehogs. I cannot thank them enough for what they do and I will definitely be making a donation. Thanks ladies. ☺️☺️X

Carnt recommend them enough,they do a wonderful job just for the love of it .if you have a spare quid or two this charity deserves it .

A small but incredibly dedicated team of people who look after hedgehogs, one of the most important animals in the countryside, but also at risk. We found an orphan who we named Stan, which they are now looking after until he's big enough to venture back into the real world. Open 365 days a year, they deserve our support.
