Meet Hector
We know that moving home can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming – especially for children. New places, new routines and unfamiliar surroundings can all feel like a lot to take in.
Say hello to Hector the Hedgehog
We introduce children to Hector the Hedgehog right from their very first visit to a Hopkins Homes development. From colouring books and activities that keep little hands busy while grown-ups talk, to friendly reminders that this is a place designed for families, Hector helps turn site visits into positive, welcoming experiences.
As the journey continues, Hector becomes a familiar face. By the time moving day arrives, children already recognise him – which is why every new home with young residents is welcomed with a soft, plush Hector the Hedgehog. A comforting companion for the first night in a new bedroom, Hector helps ease the transition and gives children something familiar to hold onto during a big change.
It’s all part of our belief that creating a home starts long before the front door opens – and that feeling settled matters just as much for little homeowners as it does for grown-ups.
More than a Mascot
Hector the Hedgehog is more than just a character. He’s a symbol of our commitment to:
- Supporting wildlife and the environment
- Building thoughtful, sustainable communities
- Helping families feel at home from day one
By including small access routes between gardens and planning wildlife-friendly green spaces, we help hedgehogs move safely through our neighbourhoods. These simple but meaningful features allow wildlife to thrive alongside our communities – just the way Hector likes it.
