Prickles Hedgehog Rescue was founded in 2007 and is run on a voluntary basis. We have an exceptional group of adult volunteers that assist with feeding, pick-ups, releases and general welfare and cleaning of the hedgehog’s accommodation. We also have young volunteers who help with the cleaning out and feeding as we feel that by working with young people this will create an interest and legacy for the future. At Prickles we pride ourselves on the high success rate in treating and rehabilitating hedgehogs that come into our care with life threatenimg illnesses or injuries. Our policy is to properly assess each patient, to seek veterinary advice when required and to consult with other specialists throughout the country who are advanced in the treatment of this small mammal. If you feel that you have something to offer and would like to join the Prickles team then please complete the Volunteer Enquiry Form and we will get in touch.

*Hi my name is Jules, I am the Founder of Prickles Hedgehog Rescue in Cheddar. Prickles has been rescuing and caring for injured, poorly and orphaned hedgehogs for 18 years. We have rescued over 8,000 so far, this has significantly helped the chances of the species survival which as many of you will know are Legally Protected due to their decline. The Charity is facing closure as the building where our Charity Shop is located has been sold, and we have seen a significant increase in our overall running costs including utility bills, vets bills, food for the animals and rental for our premises. Our costs were £107k last year. *
