FUNDRAISING
One way you can help us is to organize your own fundraising events. This could be at school, work or at home with family and friends. We have enclosed a few things to help with your fundraising on our behalf.
Keep Safe
If you are fundraising, then make sure you empty your collection box frequently and keep the money somewhere safe.
Street collections are not encouraged, please only fundraise with people that you know.
If your event does involve the public, make sure you check with your insurance company first.
Most importantly – HAVE FUN!
Fundraising Ideas
Why not get friends and family to sponsor you for ......
- Walk
Silence
Cycle Ride
Swim
3-legged Walk
Doing Chores, e.g. washing up, tidying your room
Sponsored Car Wash - Get your friends to donate unwanted books, toys or you could all get together to make cakes and have a table top sale!
- Why not charge friends to pet sit while they are on holiday or away for the day?
- If you are very sporty you could enter a Fun Run or even the Marathon! Make sure you get lots of people to sponsor you.
- Hold a Bring and Buy Sale. You could event theme the sale (e.g. Children Books)
- If you are artistic why not sell your skills as a face painter?
- If you are good at making things, why not make and sell your creations?
- How about holding a raffle?
- Why not fill up a tube of Smarties with £1 coins (after you’ve eaten all the chocolate of course!)
- Organize a school or group quiz. To help you along we’ve got some Harper Asprey questions (and answers) to get you started.
- Why not arrange a Treasure Hunt, you’d need to work out the clues. You could even make it seasonal if you wanted (Easter Egg Hunt or find the Santa)
Before fund raising make sure you read our fundraising guide and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!
Each year we need to raise money for equipment and medical costs and food. Our food needs are complex to seek the appropriate diet for a multitude of wildlife. We need specialist cages to accommodate them during their stay. Each year we treat more wildlife.
We give talks and ask for food donations and towels.
We sell items in our shop
We attend shows, shopping centers and fairs to share our experiences and encourage people to understand the wildlife that surrounds them
If you feel able to help us with any type of fundraising or have any ideas please don't hesitate to contact us. One sachet of cat food feeds a baby hedgehog for a day so every little really does help.
We are a small charity run totally by volunteers. We are a very busy rescue and we rely on the generosity of our sponsors and funding raising events. Every little helps.One sachet of cat food feeds a baby hedgehog for the day.
As we take in more and more sick and injured casualties, we need more specialists caging so that we can give each and every creature the type of environment they need to improve their stay.
We are in the process of expanding our facility and there are always happy for individuals or companies to sponsor cages, aviaries, release sites and essential equipment.

ABOUT US
We are a small organisation that treat, cares and rehabilitates all wildlife that comes to us via local vets, individuals and from our website. Emergency services and other organisations also generate wildlife casualties that need immediate care and need to be nursed back to health.
We treat a multitude of injuries and last year we responded to over 1600 incidents and that number is on the increase. Sometimes, sadly it’s inevitable that some of these wonderful animals don’t survive but our success rate is extremely high as we are very experienced at re-introducing them to their natural environment .

As well as working on the front line we give talks and show our stunning wildlife to a variety of groups and schools - Wildlife Rocks Me Talks. We believe that a better understanding of these creatures will promote not only tolerance but a willingness to integrate them into our lives.
Children will become the custodians of our planet and we hope, through our talks, will have a better understanding of and take an interest in our wonderful wildlife as they take on that ultimate role.
We raise funds by donations, our newsletter, attending County Shows, Car boot sales, selling on eBay, Fairs, and our shop.
There are many ways you can help us

why we do it
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach, and so he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean READ MORE

How we started
Whilst out walking with my dog in the early 1980's I found a small hedgehog stuck in a fence. He was too fat to go through and his prickles wouldn't let him go back.
He had been pushing so long in an attempt to free himself that the wire had cut into his body and his leg was bleeding where he had pushed and pushed against the ground. I had in my handbag a pair of pliers (no surprise to anyone who knows me) I cut the wire and removed the hedgehog READ MORE
