In recent news, we have been successful in securing funding for a new wild hedgehog rehabilitation centre in the Monmouth area. This is expected to open to its first in-patient in late Autumn 2025 and will be an extension to the successful Volunteer Hedgehog First Response Unit (FRU) for the Monmouthshire area launched in January 2024 - a innovative project aimed at helping sick or injured hedgehogs get the care they need as rapidly as possible. The FRU ran as a successful 6-month pilot, and is now fully established. Find out more about the FRU here.
