HedgeHugs to support British Hedgehog Preservation Society with donations from sales of licensed product

HedgeHugs – the book series by Lucy Tapper and Steve Wilson – have formed a collaboration with the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to donate 1% of all licensed product sales to the BHPS.

“We exclusively license into the eco sector and simultaneously support good causes – so putting this popular hedgehog publishing series together with the UK’s leading hedgehog charity is perfect synergy,” said Andrew Levy, Director at Ateliers Verts, the licensing agent for HedgeHugs.

“Additionally, we will be donating via our membership with 1% For The Planet”

Lucy Tapper, Director at HedgeHugs, added: “Steve and I have been admirers of the great work that the British Hedgehog Preservation Society has been doing over the years and we’re so happy to be able to help support them via our licensing programme. We love hedgehogs and are fully aware of the threats they face here in the UK”

Fay Vass, Chief Executive for British Hedgehog Preservation Society, said: “We’re delighted that HedgeHugs has chosen to support us and look forward to working with them on this new venture.

“Partnerships like this really help us in our mission to protect the future of native British hedgehogs – from supporting community conservation actions like creating organic wild spaces in our gardens, to funding educational projects to help future generations better understand this amazing and much-loved species.”

This week is Hedgehog Awareness Week, a week dedicated to highlighting the problems hedgehogs face in the UK and ways in which the public can assist in reversing their population decline.
