Charity - proceeds from the grotto will be split between:
Hokey Pokey Hedgehog rescue
Hokey Pokey Hedgehogs is a local rescue at the heart of our community. Hedgehogs are rescued, rehabilitated and safely released back into our habitats. As well as caring directly for the hedgehogs, the rescue provides education to our local communities including schools, vets and groups so that we can all do better for these charismatic and charming little creatures. Hedgehogs are now classified as “near threatened” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature due to a decline in numbers.
Standard poodle rescue
The club was founded in 1965, began its Rescue Services in 1980 in response to the many Standard Poodles down on their luck and needing help.
In recent years the numbers have grown, while the condition of the dogs coming to us has deteriorated. Many need months of care, both from abuse and serious life-threatening neglect. The pandemic resulted in many puppy farmers churning out puppies, discarding the parents once they were no longer profitable. We take them in and mend their bodies and spirits
We can only help these dogs with the generous support of our members and friends. We work as volunteers; feeding, housing, and caring for these dogs until we can find wonderful happy homes for them. Veterinary costs have gone up and we lose significant amounts on each dog we rehome: that shortfall is made up by the generosity of our benefactors.
