Giving wildlife a second chance
Welcome to Hedwig’s Hotel
A helping hand for our
prickly little neighbours.
We’re a family-run hedgehog rescue, supported by wonderful volunteers who give their time to help vulnerable wildlife. Together, we offer a place of safety, care and recovery.
Keeping the rescue going is a daily commitment. Small, regular donations help cover food, running costs and the medical care our hedgehogs need.

Small gifts. Real difference.
A little kindness
goes a long way.
As more hedgehogs come through our doors, the need for food, warmth and medical care grows with them.
You don’t have to give a lot to make a difference. A small, regular donation helps us plan ahead and be ready for the next little life that needs us.

Rescue. Recover. A second chance.
Here for every little step.
What began as helping a few hedgehogs through winter has grown into a year-round commitment to the wildlife on our doorstep.
From our rescue
A safe place when
A safe place when
they need it most.
In 2025, we saw a huge rise in the number of young, orphaned hedgehogs needing our help. For these vulnerable animals, timely care can make all the difference.
From their first day with us through their recovery, we give each hedgehog the attention and support they need.

Our community
Little lives.
A whole community behind them.
We may do the hands-on work here at Hedwig’s Hotel, but none of it would be possible without you. To every volunteer, donor and supporter: thank you for being part of their story.
Kindness starts close to home
Their future is
in all our hands.
We care for hedgehogs with many different needs, including injuries from dog attacks that require veterinary treatment. Raising awareness is an important part of helping prevent avoidable harm.
Through local events, we share ways we can all look out for this much-loved garden visitor. Small changes and a little understanding can make our neighbourhoods kinder to wildlife.
