How does hedgehog sponsorship work?
Hedgehog sponsorship through Charity Shop supports orphaned and underweight hedgehogs at WARN partner wildlife hospitals. From £25 a month you fund the food, warmth and care that gets a hedgehog through winter to a spring release — with a personalised e-certificate, giftable in someone's name.
Your sponsorship tier
You'll complete the donation on World Animal Rescue Network's secure page — the monthly option and the recipient's name carry across.

Where your sponsorship goes
Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network, a community interest company with a statutory asset lock — no shareholders, no private gain — which directs funds to its partner shelters and sanctuaries across Asia, Africa and South America. The about page states the exact legal structure; figures on this page are reviewed quarterly (last review 17 July 2026).

Hedgehog sponsorship questions
Why do hedgehogs need overwintering?
Hedgehogs under roughly 600g cannot survive hibernation. Wildlife hospitals keep them warm and fed indoors — about £25 per hedgehog — then release them in spring.
Is hedgehog sponsorship a good gift?
One of our most gifted. £25 a month, a personalised certificate, and updates until release — a whole story for the price of a takeaway.
