Donations & Help
Can you spare £1 every month to help the hedgehogs at Prickles in a Pickle ?
We are introducing Payday Pledge, an opportunity for our supporters and all hedgehog lovers to pay from £1 a month on direct debit to Prickles in a Pickle, this can be timed to be the same day you get paid or suits you best.
Regular funds will mean we will know we can pay the vets bill each month, or any emergency surgery etc.
We have over 3700 followers on our Facebook page. Just imagine for one moment that each of these people donated £1 a month via Payday Pledge = £3700. Even if a third of you all did £1 a month it would honestly change our world, which in turn gives more hedgehogs a second chance to live happily in the wild.
As a Registered Charity we rely on donations to provide essential care for the rehabilitation and safe release of Hedgehogs.
Hedgehogs are in serious decline and are now officially vulnerable to extinction. Prickles in a Pickle is a homebased Wildlife Sanctuary which has become busier and busier over the years, especially with sick hedgehogs. Our charity is funded by donations and we need your support but there are other ways you can help.
On average it costs £57 to nurse and rehabilitate a hedgehog.
You can donate by either a one off donation or a monthly subscription by choosing one of the options below. Alternatively you can make a donation by bank transfer, our bank details are below. .

Lifetime Gifting – Do you Know the Benefits for You?
Making gifts in your lifetime to a Registered Charity like ours can save Income Tax, as well as potentially reducing the amount of Inheritance Tax your loved ones may have to pay. Gifting to Registered Charities is immediately free of Inheritance Tax, so there is no need to survive for 7 years for it to be outside your estate. If you agree to use Gift Aid for any donation made from your taxable income, Prickles in a Pickle will also receive the 20% Income Tax you would have paid which is added onto the amount given. In addition, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can reclaim any additional tax via your Tax Return, so this really is a win-win situation!
