It's Hedgehog Awareness Week! (3rd - 9th May)

As a Hedgehog Friendly University, we're organising two weeks worth of activities and sharing information about our prickly neighbours. We hope to help our staff and students better understand the risks they face, from litter to bonfires, and appreciate them just a little bit more.

We're also running a raffle to fundraise for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society who are dedicated to protecting them. Take part next Wednesday for a chance to win some great prizes!

Hopefully you'll see one when you're next out in the evening- Keep both an eye and ear out 🦔
