Emily spent last summer volunteering for a hedgehog rescue. As well as going into the rescue centre on a daily basis, Emily also fostered two litters of baby hoglets at home.

“Hedgehog numbers in the UK have halved in the last two decades and although their constant care was challenging, the opportunity to do my part to help wildlife and to give back to nature was a wonderful and rewarding experience."
