We also wanted to use this page to include some of the pictures that we taken on our last open day,in August 2001.While these open days are a lot of fun,there is a serious side to them.We are not a registered charity and rely entirely on donations and fund-raising to keep us going.

Visitors to our latest open day in August 2001 were amazed to be greeted on arrival,by the world`s largest Hedgehog(left).He did a marvellous job,welcoming everyone.
The open day was a great oppurtunity to.........

...get close to the`hogs`

...whatever your age!

....or just get painted!

...watch those spines!

.....time for bed!

learn all about our patients.

The day proved to be a great success,raising much needed funds,and raising our profile at the same time.
