A brother and sister from Bury St Edmunds put their summer holidays to good use by cleaning up the town to raise money for a hedgehog hospital.

Jessica, 7, and Oliver, 4, raised £50 for the Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital with a sponsored litter pick.

They completed the clean-up operation in areas surrounding Moreton Hall and on Hardwick Heath by West Suffolk Hospital.

They also grew plants during the Covid-19 pandemic and sold them to raise more money for the hedgehogs.

Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital is currently caring for 95 baby hedgehogs, or 'hoglets', and requires cat food for when they're ready to be weaned.
