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

This little mite came in a couple of hours ago, very dehydrated and hungry. I don’t know what happened to her mum or even if she had siblings but anyway, she is a very lucky little girl. She is only very young as her eyes aren’t quite open yet so is still being fed milk with a syringe.
Hey friends, I’m sorry about my wish list. I can’t find it and neither can anyone else find it, some people manage to dig it out, then it disappears again so if anyone would like to help this tiny hoglet and the many more to come, right up till November, Royal Canin Baby Dog milk, shown here, will be very welcome indeed. Thank you in advance. Joan.

Enough about me, let’s talk about the person standing by me in the photograph, because without him, I wouldn’t have even got to London.
He, Martin, and I have been close friends for years, ever since, can you guess, he brought a hedgehog to me.
Martin has always been there for me when I needed help or support and when I told him about the New Years Honours, he said, “I’ll take you anywhere you want to go” and this included London for the Garden Party.
From planning the train journeys and times of the Underground, plus which lines to get on and off, he also booked the hotel and made sure that it was near to Buckingham Palace so that we didn’t have to walk far. (It was a 12 minutes walk away)
He was picking me up at 8-15am, then turned up at 7-30am to take me for breakfast first, he said.
Throughout the 2 days in London he waited on me hand and foot, opening doors for me, pulling chairs out for me to sit down, in other words, the perfect gentleman and folks, this wasn’t just for the 2 days that we were away, no, this is Martin, all the time.
I can’t thank you enough Martin, not just for taking me to London but also for being my friend. Joan.

Here I am
with Martin, my friend of many years, about to go into the grounds of Buckingham Palace for the Kings Garden Party.
Please take note as you are unlikely to see me this posh again, ever!!

Ok, so let’s lighten up a bit.
I went into my local post office last week which is run by a family of really lovely Pakistani’s, (I hope I’ve got that right because I couldn’t care a less where they come from! )
They said that they had heard from the next door newsagent that I had been awarded the British Empire Medal and were worried as how to address me in future, should it be “Your Ladyship” or should it be, “Madam?” ( They were deadly serious) As I walked out of the door I replied, over my shoulder, “Your Royal Highness will do”.🤣
I hope to heaven they don’t take that remark seriously!!

DO you think this will get through to them? I’m not holding my breath!!The uproar about folks sending me messages on mes...

DO you think this will get through to them? I’m not holding my breath!!
The uproar about folks sending me messages on messenger about hedgehogs in trouble hasn’t worked, I’ve had two more in the space of 48 hours.☹️
This sign is going on the front door.

I’ve just come home from London where I attended the Kings Garden Party at Buckingham Palace which I had been invited to in recognition of my hedgehog rescue work.
A wonderful, unforgettable experience. This happiness turned to anger when I returned home because what should be on my doorstep, youve’ guessed it, a hedgehog!
The hedgehog had no bedding whatsoever, it just lay in a bare cardboard box looking very ill with blood coming from its nose and a wound on its neck.
No messages with it, no note through the door to say where it had come from, and no text message, certainly no phone call with any information either.
Just the state it was in was bad enough, but how long had it been there, and what if I had stayed away for another night, it doesn’t bear thinking about.
To say that I was upset is putting it mildly.
There is no excuse for this so please don’t anyone say, “At least they picked it up”, or “Their hearts were in the right place”. The hedgehog was cold, probably hungry and thirsty and definitely in pain. I despair.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
I thought you would like an update on the little hedgehog that was brought in to me a few days ago. She was hours away from death as a result of dehydration due to lack of water, and also she was very underweight because the food source is also scarce when the ground is so dry.
She is one of the lucky ones.
