Cornwall’s Prickles and Paws Set to Transform Hedgehog Care with New Hogspital

In an exciting development for Cornwall’s hedgehog enthusiasts, Prickles and Paws is making remarkable progress on their brand new Hedgehog Hogspital. Situated on the Carnanton estate, this facility promises to be a game-changer for hedgehog rehabilitation and conservation efforts.

A Perfect Location

The Carnanton estate has proven to be an ideal location for Prickles and Paws, boasting a serene ambience and excellent road accessibility. What’s more, the facility’s low rent and a 25-year lease make it an economically sustainable choice for the organisation.

Expanding Capacities

The new premises provide an opportunity for Prickles and Paws to significantly expand their capacity for hedgehog admissions. Additionally, it opens doors for enhanced educational and volunteering opportunities. With these advancements, the organisation aims to create a holistic ecosystem for hedgehog care.

Construction in Progress

As the project gains momentum, drainage works are already underway. The phased installation of the “Hogspital” is on the horizon, a major milestone for the team and the hedgehogs they are dedicated to protecting.

Dedicated Hedgehog Carers and Volunteers

Prickles and Paws owes much of its success to its remarkable team of hedgehog carers and dedicated volunteer drivers. These unsung heroes work tirelessly, 365 days a year, and all from the confines of a backyard. The “Hogspital” marks a significant step towards a brighter future for hedgehogs and wildlife conservation.

Matching Fundraising Efforts

To support the project’s next milestone, Prickles and Paws have launched a special fundraising campaign. Aviva has pledged to match fund every penny you donate, up to an impressive £250 pounds. This initiative has gained momentum following recent challenges, including vandalism to the water supply at the new site. It has only strengthened the organisation’s resolve to forge ahead with the Hogspital development.

Join the Cause

Prickles and Paws have already made significant progress, with donations pouring in and a strong community of supporters rallying behind them. With the goal for the next phase well within reach, they urge everyone to contribute and spread the word. By doing so, you can play a vital role in securing the future of Cornwall’s hedgehogs and wildlife.

The Hedgehog Hogspital represents a beacon of hope for these beloved creatures, and your support can help bring this vision to life. Join Prickles and Paws in their journey towards a brighter, safer future for Cornwall’s hedgehogs.
