People kindly often ask how they can donate to Hamworthy Hedgehog Rescue, so we thought it would be useful to list various ways and links in one place. If you would like to contribute towards providing care and rehabilitation for this native British species, please use one of the options below.
We receive no central funding, and as a charity we rely on voluntary funding which comes by donations from finders and well wishers. Our vets bills and food costs are very high, particularly when we have so many hedgehogs to feed and care for.
All donations will go towards the care and rehabilitation of hedgehogs.

Gift Aid
Make your gifts worth more! Gift Aid adds 25% to the value of your donation at no extra cost to you. It works by letting us claim back tax you’ve already paid.
Do I qualify for Gift Aid?
To qualify for Gift Aid you must have paid income or capital gains tax (in the UK) for each tax year (6 April to 5 April) at least equal to the tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs that you donate to will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year. Other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify.
How do I inform you my gifts are eligible for Gift Aid?
There are a few ways you can set up a Gift Aid declaration. The easiest way is to download and complete our Gift Aid form.
Please return the downloaded form to:
Hamworthy Hedgehog Rescue, 40 Egmont Road, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, BH16 5BZ
You can also call us on 07587 925476 to make an oral declaration.
What if I already have a Gift Aid declaration with another charity?
You need to have a separate Gift Aid declaration for each charity that you support with Gift Aid.
What do I need to do if my tax status changes or I want to cancel my declaration?
If your circumstances change please contact us by emailing info@hamworthyhedgehogrescue.org.uk or calling 07587925476
