  Charlotte and some of her friends were so inspired by a Newsround programme that they have decided to do some independent research on how to save hedgehogs. They organised a fundraising event held on parent's evening selling cakes and biscuits. They raised over £100 for Miss Tiggywinkles hospice. Blue Peter sent them all badges too. Well done girls!
