The founder of WMHR Joan Lockley has been inundated with urgent calls to rescue and collect injured, dehydrated or small weight hedgehogs who will not survive this year’s hibernation without her assistance. You can help in simple ways.

• Leave water in a low heavy dish in a sheltered spot in your garden and top up daily
• Be a ‘stage’ transporter for injured or hedgehogs
• Join, like and share the page with everyone to highlight the cause
• Donate old hutches, small or large, to us as housing for the casualties to be cared for
• Donate ‘puppy pads’ or human incontinence pads (square padded liners) for hygiene in the pens.
• Become a fosterer until hedgehogs can be released.
• Become a fundraiser for WMHR to help Joan, a pensioner who single handed feeds, collects and cares for hundreds of hedgehogs every year. Donate unwanted (in-date) dried dog food (not fish) or wet cat food to help with feeding the hedgehogs. Amazon wish list

Can I have a little rant again folks?
It’s about Facebook.
I can fully understand why people won’t use it, it’s a mine field. I have to think very carefully before I post anything because there are folks out there just waiting to pounce on one wrong word, one excuse to “have a go”, they are called ‘trolls’ or ‘experts’ who know better. (Or think they do because they have ‘googled it’)
With these trolls, as soon as they print something nasty or uncalled for, it’s like lighting the blue touch paper, all of the other trolls and know alls join in, like a pack of wild dogs.
It used to upset me, it doesn’t anymore because as soon as I sniff trouble coming, I take off the comment and block the person who is holding the match.
You watch friends, I bet any money that this will start at least one of them off.
Yes, you have to be brave to have a Facebook Account. Joan.

A great big thank you to Lorraine who tonight, in the dark, on her own,in the pouring rain, went to collect the Chase Terrace hedgehog, she even thought to take a hot water bottle to keep the hedgehog warm. What a woman!! Lorraine even brought 12 tins of cat food with her.
This is dedication and for the love of animals.
Dare I say that Lorraine is no spring chicken, although nowhere near as old as myself, but too old to be driving about in this awful weather rescuing a hedgehog in trouble.
Can’t thank you enough Lorraine.
