There are many ways to support our work at the GSPCA this Christmas from sponsoring a kennel to a wish list gift.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “With over 3000 animals through our doors in 2021 we have seen an incredibly busy and difficult year and it would be amazing if we could have a bumper Christmas of kindness.”
“There are a huge range of ways to support our work this Christmas and we have popped a page together with a few ideas.”
“From sponsoring a pen as a gift to a Christmas Jumper Mufti day we have lots of ideas to support our work and the animals in our care.”
“We have wish lists so you could be treats for the animals in our care to Christmas gifts for them to open Christmas day.”
“One wish list item is a new transit van as our current vehicle after 100’s or shows and events, moving animals around and much more has sadly had to be retired and we are looking for a replacement as it helps us carry out our work in so many ways and would be used to transport animals.”
“Many businesses might be thinking of a charity to support in 2022 and anyone wanting to support our work please do get in touch.”
