Hedgepigs & Hoglets Rescue Push To Complete Their New Rescue Building

Date Posted: 23rd September 2024

Through sales of the Hedgehog Highway by Timloc Building Products, part of Alumasc Group plc, has donated £200 worth of food and supplies to Hedgepigs & Hoglets Rescue.

 

Based in Penzance, the registered charity is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of sick, injured, or orphaned hedgehogs. This timely contribution comes as the charity nears the completion of its new, purpose-built rescue building.

 

Founded in 2015 by Jill Dodds, Hedgepigs & Hoglets Rescue has seen a significant rise in the number of hedgehog admissions over the years, highlighting the need to expand. Jill and her volunteers have been working tirelessly to finish their new rescue.

 

Jill commented:

“We began this rescue with a deep passion to protect and nurture hedgehogs, which are currently classed as vulnerable to extinction in the UK. Year after year, the number of hedgehogs needing our help has grown. To ensure we can continue to meet this demand, we decided to build a dedicated facility. The local community and businesses have been incredible, generously donating materials, labour, and volunteers to make it a reality. Although the building is not completely finished, we have been able to reopen after a temporary closure during the initial construction.”

 

The £200 donation from Hedgehog Highway by Timloc has provided much-needed supplies to help the rescue bounce back and resume its vital work.

 

Continued Jill:

“The donation couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s particularly special that the support comes from a product that is designed to directly benefit hedgehogs. These small openings in garden fences allow hedgehogs to move freely between gardens, helping them find food, water, and shelter. It’s simple but has a big impact on their survival.”

 

Hedgehog Highway by Timloc is available in four colours—Black, Brown, Grey, and Yellow—and can be purchased as a single or multi-pack. The highways, easily installed in garden fences or walls, create essential pathways for hedgehogs, allowing them to roam safely between gardens. This connectivity is crucial for their survival, especially in more urban areas.

 

As part of Timloc’s ongoing commitment to supporting hedgehog conservation, the Hedgehog Highway initiative not only raises funds for charities like Hedgepigs & Hoglets Rescue but also promotes the importance of highways to new house builders and developers across the UK.
