Last night the GSPCA greeted a packed room of new and willing volunteers.

From 13 years and up there were 15 interested in helping volunteer in aid of their Duke of Edinburgh Award and 7 volunteers keen to help with our Charity Shop, with the animals, admin, reception, cake baking and fund raising.

This was our 11th Volunteer Induction of 2019 and takes the numbers inducted through these events this year to an amazing 133 new volunteers some which help every week and others that help occasionally.

With over 850 volunteers helping every year at the GSPCA and an average 100 to 120 each week we couldn’t achieve so much helping so many animals and so many families and individuals.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On what was a very wet and windy night we had a packed room full of keen new volunteers last night.”

“With the start of a new school year we see the new season of Duke of Edinburgh volunteers and last night there were 15 of the new 22 volunteers many of which will be starting their volunteering from this weekend.”

“We are so incredibly lucky with our amazing volunteers that do so much helping animals 24/7 365 days a year.”

“One role we are especially appealing for new volunteers is to help become an Animal Ambulance Volunteer and Warden, especially on the weekends and anyone interested please do give me a call on 01481 257261 or email [email protected] to find out more.”

“Our next Volunteer Induction Evening will take place on Tuesday 12th November at 6.30pm and for more details please visit http://gspca.org.gg/about/volunteers .”

“If your business would like to help us here at the GSPCA please do get in touch or check out this page for details http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/how-your-business-can-help-gspca-corporate-sponsorship .”

“Huge thanks to all that came last night and we look forward getting you all involved with our work at the GSPCA helping 1000’s of animals every year and serving the community of Guernsey.”
