BARBARA ROBERTS BEM

That this House congratulates Barbara Roberts, the founder of the Withington Hedgehog Care Trust, on being awarded a BEM in the New Year Honours List for services to the rescue and rehabilitation of hedgehogs; notes that this honour was earned after decades of selfless work to protect the UK's hedgehogs; further notes that since founding the Trust in 2002 Barbara has invested vast amounts of her own time and money into this endeavour; recognises these selfless actions as being incredibly deserving of the award; further notes that Britain's hedgehog population has been declining as fast as that of the tiger worldwide, making her work of vital importance; and hopes that Barbara and the other volunteers at the Trust will continue their valuable work for many years to come.
