SW15 Hedgehogs, a volunteer group dedicated to the revival of this species, is holding an online survey and it wants local people to take part.

It is seeking to supplement work it already does as spotlight and camera trap surveys to help understand how hedgehogs use the land within the SW15 area.

It is also looking at dogs, foxes and badgers to see if they influence hedgehog movements.

It needs specifically people who live in the SW15 area to complete the online survey, which takes just a few minutes. Respondents do not have to have seen a hedgehog to participate and will remain anonymous; only for postcodes are request to track animals' whereabouts to be tracked.

If it is possible please, I would be extremely grateful to share this survey with your staff and your readers to help us further in our data collection - the more information we have the greater our understanding of hedgehogs, the better support we hope to give them.

Click here to complete the survey which must be submitted by Friday 2 May.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
