WE HAVE TWICE CHANGED OUR NAME, THE REASON FOR THE NAME CHANGE IS THAT WE NO LONGER JUST RESCUE HEDGEHOGS AND THE NAME KEIGHLEY HEDGEHOG RESCUE MEANT THAT WE WERE NOT BEING CONTACTED REGARDING OTHER SICK AND INJURED ANIMALS, WE CHANGED OUR NAME TO AVOID CAUSING CONFUSION.

2011 HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC MILESTONE FOR OUR CHARITY AND ITS FUTURE AIMS. WE HAVE OPENED OUR FIRST CHARITY SHOP WHICH HAS RECEIVED MASSIVE PUBLIC BACKING, WITH SICK AND INJURED ANIMALS NOW ARRIVING AT THE SHOP ALMOST DAILY, WE NOW HAVE FACILITIES AT THE SHOP FOR THE CARE OF THESE ANIMALS UNTIL THEY CAN BE TRANSPORTED TO A SANCTUARY.

WE HAVE ALSO PURCHASED A DESIGNATED CHARITY VEHICLE, FULLY EQUIPPED WITH RESCUE EQUIPTMENT, THIS IS A MASIVE BOOST FOR THE CHARITY AND WE CAN NOW PROVIDE A COLLECTION SERVICE IF THE PUBLIC ARE UNABLE TO BRING THE ANIMALS INTO THE SANCTUARY.

WE ARE NOW ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING INTO NEW PREMISES WHICH WILL BE OUR HEADQUATERS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THIS WILL BE FULLY EQUIPPED WITH AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, CLASSROOM, AND VISITOR CENTRE WHERE WE ARE HOPING LOCAL SCHOOLS WILL BE ABLE TO VISIT, WE ARE ALSO KEEN TO OFFER HANDS ON EXPERIENCE TO LOCAL STUDENTS WHO ARE KEEN TO WORK WITH ANIMALS AS A FUTURE CAREER.

WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP  SANCTUARIES AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH THE AIM TO RESCUE AS MANY ANIMALS AS POSSIBLE AND GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.
