Google local wildlife sancturies hun. I found that most of them are unfortunately not open 24 hours. I ended up calling Wildlife Aid who were able to give me advice that night. I hope the little thing will be ok.

I hope the poor thing is OK  :'( - In the meantime, make sure it has some cat food (wet or dry) and water. Hedgehogs mustn't be given bread & milk.

There is a list here of places that will help. http://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/carers.htm

These are the Manchester numbers from it

Barbara Roberts    0161 445 5917
Animals in Distress    0850 605 283

You can also try these general numbers for northern England and they will give you other contacts.

 01706 860 904 or 01507 450 221
