A major housebuilder has donated £1,000 towards brand new facilities for a hedgehog rescue in Gateshead.
Hope for Hedgehogs, which is located close to Taylor Wimpey’s Woodside Gardens development, in Ryton, started out as a small facility operating from founder Sandra Lowe’s home and garden in 2018.
Since then, it has grown into a full ‘hogspital’ run by Mrs Lowe a former psychiatric nurse, and a group of around 20 volunteers, providing care for sick and injured hedgehogs in and around the Ryton area.
