WONDERFUL PEOPLE
The following organisations and people have supported Hedgehog Bottom's work, either with financial contributions for a specific project or by donating items to support our work.
Without these people we would be unable to provide the level of care, nor have the successes, that we currently do.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of them. They have made a difference.

Lush CosmeticsLUSH Cosmetics
Sponsored: New hospital building
Environmental issues are at the heart of Lush and trickle through to the decisions we make on a daily basis. For example, we use almond and olive oil - not mineral oil - partly because we think fields of trees make our lives much richer than oil fields. We keep on top of legislation and welcome new regulations that genuinely reduce our impact.
We like to support environmental groups that take part in creative direct action to help change the law. We are committed to becoming more sustainable the more we grow, by using our buying power to drive positive change. We believe taking care of the environment is everyone's responsibility including all of our staff and our customers.

Maja SeredaMaja Sereda
Sponsored: Illustrations
Maja Sereda is an illustrator like no other. Her books and drawings are like, like, well like nothing else really. The term 'every picture tells a story' applies to everything her pencil has touched.
Maja drew a number of hedgehogs for us which were meant to be used to tie in with the 2012 Olympic Games in London and would have been perfect had it not been for the Olympics committee who seemed to think that a small charity should pay as much as a corporation to use the link. The illustrations are now used on our merchandise which is for sale in our shop.

WaitroseWaitrose Community Matters
Sponsored: Food & Medications
Since its launch in 2008, Waitrose's, Community Matters initiative has donated over £3 million to a wide range of charities and community groups. This unique scheme gives each branch £1,000 (or £500 in our convenience shops) to share out between three local good causes each month - such as welfare organisations, community groups, schools or local divisions of national charities.
Customers vote for their preferred cause using a green token each time they shop and the money each cause is given is directly proportional to the tokens they receive. Under the scheme, customers nominate organisations, with the final decision made by PartnerVoice forums (Waitrose's local democratic bodies). Each branch has a Community Matters Champion, who finds out about potential beneficiaries.

Arden GrangeArden Grange
Sponsor: Food
We would like to take this opportunity to reassure all our customers, suppliers and the general public that our products and product ranges continue to meet the very high requirements previously set by the BUAV.
As a result, and because we feel so strongly regarding this matter, we have developed our own 'Not Tested on Animals Guarantee'. This continues on from the strict criteria that we met when the BUAV 'Not Tested on Animals Standard' was in practice.
Our guarantee, together with our company policy, affirms we have not and never will fund any invasive research projects conducted in relation to the development or refinement of pet foods manufactured or sold by our company. Nor would we be party to any act that could be deemed harmful or injurious to animals.
