Huge congratulations to Geoff George from all at the GSPCA for becoming this years Pride of Guernsey Emergency Hero

We are so proud of Geoff George in the Pride of Guernsey Emergency Hero Award earlier this month.

All of the GSPCA team would like to congratulate Animal Collection Officer Geoff George who has been working at the GSPCA since 1998.

This year Geoff has been showered with praise as he has been a finalist in two international awards at the Petplan and ADCH Awards and Ceva Animal Welfare Awards earlier this year which were international awards from thousands of nominations.

Sadly Geoff didn’t win either of these awards but he was hugely honoured and humbled as they are the most prestigious accolades a member of animal care staff can be bestowed. To be a finalist Geoff was and still is shocked that the work he carries out in Guernsey has been recognised in such a way.

Geoff works around the clock helping animals in Guernsey and with his knowledge and experience 1000’s are rescued and cared for every year.

When Geoff saw the amazing finalists at the Guernsey Press Pride of Guernsey Awards he really thought he would be attending to enjoy an evening of celebrations and to see one of the others claiming the award.

Geoff George GSPCA Animal Collection Officer said “It was such a shock at the Pride of Guernsey Awards.”

“I still can’t believe that I was honoured with the Emergency Hero Award, it was so humbling and it was such an amazing night.”

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “At the GSPCA we are all so proud of Geoff, he works around the clock helping animals in Guernsey and from the seal rescues to trapped kittens, rounding up herds of lose cows to catching a stray dog over the last 20 years he has helped tens of thousands of animals in one way or another.”

“The Guernsey Press Pride of Guernsey Awards is an amazing way to celebrate those that do much for others throughout the island.”

“The ADCH and Petplan Animal Welfare Awards are now open and to nominate local good causes or individuals to recognise the work here in Guernsey on a national stage please pick up a form at our reception at the GSPCA or visit the webpage https://www.petplancharity.co.uk/pet-insurance/animal-charity-awards/ .”

“Thank you to everyone that voted for Geoff in these amazing awards, we are so lucky to have an amazing team of staff and volunteers who go so far over and above what is expected.”
