LIVESTREAM TO HELP THE HEDGEHOGS!
Are you a livestreamer?
It would be wonderful if you could help fundraise for the hedgehogs while live streaming! We have a Tiltify donations page where you can very quickly and easily set up a new fundraiser on behalf of Hornbeam Wood Hedgehog Sanctuary.
From IRL, Just Chatting, Arts, Music, Retro and Casual Gamers, to eSports or Speed Runner Gamers. We'd love to hear from you! We have some top notch Merch for streamers who reach fundraiser and donation goals over £150 and even more tiered incentives for larger fundraisers :D
1) LET US KNOW YOU'RE LIVESTREAM FUNDRAISING FOR THE HEDGEHOGS
First off, head over to our streamer registration form so we know you're fundraising for the hedgehogs! This will allow us to follow you and watch your live stream, and also know who to thank :)
You'll receive a 100% cotton T-Shirt embroidered with our logo if your live stream fundraiser reaches over £150 in donations, please don't forget to add your size and the colour you'd like! You can view T-Shirt options at our online shop. Check out our tiered fundraiser incentives below for more thank you rewards!

3) SET UP A NEW FUNDRAISER ON OUR BEHALF THROUGH OUR TILTIFY OR STREAMLABS CHARITY
Start a new fundraiser on our behalf at Tiltify (https://tiltify.com/hornbeam-wood-hedgehog-sanctuary) to help the hedgehogs. Tiltify is the most popular Charity livestream fundraising platform and geared to live streamers. It also has widget overlays that integrate into your live stream (if using StreamLabs or OBS) such as most recent donator, your fundraiser goal, and more.
Alternatively, you can also start a fundraiser through our Streamlabs Charity Page (https://streamlabscharity.com/hornbeam-wood-hedgehog-sanctuary) where your followers will also be able to donate.
NOTE: Please let us know you are fundraising once you've setup on either of these platforms as they don't always notify us!

Pet hate: Loud eating noises.
Why am i streaming: I started streaming during lockdown to host community events and let people unwind from the reality that was Lockdown during the pandemic. I have fallen inlove with it and I feel that I have helped people cope with anxiety and depression as a result.
What games do i play regularly: I will give most games a go, will do abit more extensive research on the ones we have to pay for but PvP is where the magic happens.

You can start live streaming right now! Just follow the three steps below and you'll be live streaming in no time :D
There are a few bits of hardware you'll need before you can live stream. The most important and being a computer and a microphone. A webcam is optional if you are live streaming a game (but will benefit your stream). However, in most other types of live streams (such as art or crafts) webcams will likely be very important.
STEP 1:
SIGN UP TO A LIVE STREAMING PLATFORM
Twitch.tv is one of the more popular live streaming platforms, but there is also YouTube Live and Facebook Live. All of these platforms are free.

STEP 2:
INSTALL A LIVE STREAM VIDEO ENCODER
Streamlabs OBS is one of the more popular video encoding software packages, it's also free! Another option is Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) which is also free. Or, you can purchase hardware video encoders instead of using software, elgato is a popular option for this.
