Buy a toy hedgehog and support wildlife rescue
East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service is a front-line rescue service for wildlife casualties who, unlike their domesticated cousins, do not have owners to help look after them. ESWRAS have helped to rehabilitate rescued Swifts and Hedgehogs until they are well enough to be set free. You can support their work by buying a handmade mini Hedgehog toy at our Hedgehog Day.
All donations received will be given to ESWRAS.
