Annie Parfitt

I’m a former vet nurse who founded Help a Hedgehog Hospital in 2008. Alongside our dedicated team of volunteer trustees, we operate hospitals in Brimscombe and Tetbury, plus a specialised Intensive Care and Hand-rearing unit in Bussage.

Our mission is to advocate for hedgehog welfare through public education and professional rehabilitation. To ensure the highest level of care, our team is trained via BHPS-approved courses at Vale Wildlife Hospital, and we work closely with local vets to provide expert clinical treatment for every hedgehog that comes through our doors.

If you would like to support our work, please visit our donation page, and you can follow our latest news via our Facebook page.
