This is today! Support High Peak Hedgehog Rescue at High Peak Bookstore & Cafe - they will have a small stall at the cafe 🦔 💚

The rescue do such brilliant work to help these creatures which are now officially 'near threatened' species.

On Saturday 7th November 9.30am -4.30pm High Peak Hedgehog Rescue will have a small stall at the Bookstore 🥰 Please come along and support them if you can.

High Peak hedgehog rescue is a local non profit rescue, based in Buxton, in the garage of Annemarie Fitzgerald. Annemarie is a farm vet at Overdale vets in Buxton.

Hedgehogs are brought in from all over High Peak and Derbyshire Dales, either to the vets or the rescue. They are treated for disease or injury then rehabilitated back to the wild.

Annemarie has a fantastic team of volunteers who help, including Alison (who works in our cafe here at the bookstore) and relies entirely on donations from the public.

Hopefully this fundraiser will raise vital funds to pay for food and medicines for our lovely local hedgehogs 🦔
