Will you create a hole for hedgehogs in your garden? 

Hedgehogs need highways.  They need a motorway network, if you like, through gardens so that they can pass through them.  They travel a mile plus a night through parks and gardens to find food and to find a mate.  

But hedgehogs are finding life pretty difficult because so many people have fenced in their gardens with walls or fences making it impossible to pass through.  

Help create a hedgehog highway by giving them a hole to get through

A hole of 13cm by 13cm is big enoug  for any hedgehog to pass through so holes  don't need to be large. 

Will you create a hole for hedgehogs, if you haven't got one already, and enable them to travel through your neighbourhood?

We need to create a hedgehog highway so that our beloved hedgehogs can pass through safely to find the food and mates they need to survive and thrive.  The more holes we can all create, the better for hedgehogs.

Create a hole for hedgehogs, and you could even add your hole to the BIG Hedgehog Map with Hedgehog Street, the campaign to help hedgehogs

If you love crafts and you love animals, here’s a great chance to get crafty for animals who need help!

The National Animal Welfare Trust  have 6 re-homing centres in the south of England.  And they also have an NAWT Craft Club.   This is a great chance to join a team of supporters who get crafty to help the NAWT improve facilities at their centres, or to help fundraise by making items the charity can sell at events and open days.

Ideas include:

• Bunting
• Crochet cat balls
• Pet blankets
• Shopping bags
• Home-made cards
• Easter Egg hats

My Auntie Susan (actually in New Zealand) loved to knit and she loved cats so she began knitting blankets and squares for the local rescue centre.   She ended up being a feature in the local paper there and it gave her a real purpose and great pleasure to know her knitting was helping cats in the charity’s care.

One supporter made these lovely greeting cards for the NAWT
