How to contact us

My wife and I do what little we can to help them from our small one bedroom flat. We have been paying for everything from our very limited income and have completely run out of money

Please don't forget we are only volunteers who do this because we care for them.
                        We can't do this alone
We need your help.

If you are phoning for help:

• For  Essex, East London or North Kent ring The South Essex Wildlife Hospital 01375 893893
• The Hedgehog Helpline 029 2062 3985 can give URGENT advice to find a carer or rescue centre near you in the rest of the UK
• Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital has a 24 hour help and advice line 01844 292292
• General advice can be obtained from BHPS on 01584 890801 during office hours
• A list of carers or rescue centres who might be able to help can be found here or on the BHPS website
• When you can't get help from anywhere else, you can ring us on 020 8508 4056 or 07717 834570

• When you cannot contact a hedgehog or wildlife rescue centre or carer immediately then Any sick or injured hedgehog should be taken to a local vet who will give basic emergency treatment free of charge.
  If you are in the Northeast or East London areas then the Goddard Vet Group  are very helpful with injured wildlife. Their emergency Hospital at Wanstead is open 24 hours
• Only ring RSPCA as a final resort. We cannot rely on them to treat  wildlife and not kill them, including hedgehogs, because  they won't pay to have them treated 

If you would like to help us: read the how you can help page

We will always try to advise what to do with a sick or injured hedgehog

Any letters can be sent to:
Epping Forest Hedgehog Rescue
