Help Phoenix Hedgehog Rescue Rise Again
Phoenix Hedgehog Rescue is continuing its rebuild following the closure and transition of the rescue that previously operated as Emma’s Hedgehog Hospital.
While the need to care for vulnerable hedgehogs never stopped, we had to start again without the financial reserves or guaranteed income of an established organisation.
We have secured a new home for the rescue and have worked hard to equip it from the ground up.
From preparing the building and installing essential facilities to purchasing specialist equipment, food and medical supplies, we have invested heavily in creating a safe and appropriate environment for the hedgehogs in our care.
But a rescue cannot run on equipment alone.
There are ongoing costs every single month — veterinary treatment, medication, food, heating, electricity, cleaning supplies, housing, transport and emergency care.
This is where our sponsors can make a real difference.
Why We Need Sponsors
We do not have an endless source of funding, and we want to grow Phoenix Hedgehog Rescue responsibly.
Reliable sponsorship allows us to plan ahead, maintain appropriate levels of supplies and respond quickly when an injured, sick or orphaned hedgehog needs our help.
It also allows supporters to see exactly what their contribution is helping to provide.
You can support the rescue by sponsoring:
A specific piece of equipment
A hedgehog enclosure
Medical and veterinary care
Food and supplements
Heating equipment
Cleaning and sanitation supplies
Building and facility improvements
A monthly running cost
A specific rescue project
You can also make a general donation, allowing us to use your contribution wherever it is most urgently needed.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Below are some of the current areas where your support could help.
🏠 Our Rescue Home & Facilities
Our new rescue base is housed within a generously donated portacabin, provided by Mervyn Lambert.
Considerable work has gone into transforming the building into a suitable rescue environment, including electrical work, flooring, windows, kitchen facilities, an animal bathing area, decoration and other essential improvements.
This was one of the largest costs involved in rebuilding the rescue, and sponsorship towards these improvements would be hugely appreciated.
We are also working towards providing additional storage and specialist areas, including:
An approximately 8ft × 8ft storage building for food and supplies
Additional electrical work and lighting
An indoor shed/room for warm housing
Timber and board materials
A covered outdoor area for outdoor hutches
Roofing and timber materials for the outdoor hutch area
🦔 Specialist Hedgehog Housing
Appropriate housing is essential to the welfare and recovery of the hedgehogs in our care.
We require approximately 16 specialist Plaztek hedgehog pods, at around £260 each.
We are incredibly grateful to the generous supporters who have already sponsored 9 of these pods.
We also require:
Heat pads .. approximately £20 each
Thermostats and temperature monitors .. approximately £16 each
Outdoor hutches .. approximately £100 each
Additional housing and rehabilitation equipment as required
🩺 Medical & Veterinary Care
Medical care is one of the most important and unpredictable costs within a wildlife rescue.
Support towards our veterinary care fund helps us respond when hedgehogs arrive injured, ill or requiring treatment.
Current requirements include:
Veterinary care .. open sponsorship
Medication and woundcare supplies .. approximately £100 per month
Syringes, feeding tubes and medical gloves .. approximately £100
Digital all-in-one microscope with screen .. approximately £230
High-strength spotlight and magnification equipment
Digital thermometer gun .. approximately £36
🍽 Food & Nutrition
A recovering hedgehog needs the right nutrition to regain strength.
We require regular supplies of:
Premium hedgehog food
Emergency formula
Supplements
ORALADE .. approximately £8 per bottle, with around two bottles required each day during periods of use.
Food sponsorship can be particularly valuable because it helps cover one of the rescue's ongoing everyday costs.
🧼 Cleaning & Hygiene
Maintaining excellent hygiene standards is essential when caring for multiple vulnerable animals.
Regular supplies include:
Rescue-grade disinfectant .. approximately £66 for 5 litres
Laundry detergent .. approximately £12 per month
Paper towels / blue roll .. approximately £22
Bin bags
Puppy pads
Vinyl gloves
Aprons
General cleaning supplies.
These may seem like small items, but together they represent a significant ongoing expense.
Sponsor an Item
We want our sponsorship programme to be personal and meaningful.
Where possible, supporters can choose to sponsor a specific item or contribute towards a particular project.
You may also wish to dedicate a sponsorship in your own name, in memory of someone special, or as a gift for someone else.
Whether you sponsor a £16 temperature monitor, contribute towards veterinary care, or help fund a major piece of equipment, your support becomes part of the story of Phoenix Hedgehog Rescue.

We also welcome support from local businesses and organisations.
Businesses can support us through:
Sponsoring specific equipment
Funding a rescue project
Providing regular monthly support
Donating goods or services
Supporting veterinary or medical costs
Helping with building and facility improvements.
We are happy to recognise business supporters, with appropriate recognition agreed according to the nature of the sponsorship.

With permission, sponsors may be recognised through:
