Next week marks Volunteers Week a time when many organisations and groups highlight the opportunities and thank their volunteers for their amazing support and time across Guernsey and the UK.

The GSPCA couldn't achieve all of the work that is carried our 24/7 without the 600+ volunteers that help at the Shelter and with all of our work across Guernsey.

Next Wednesday during Volunteers Week we will be holding our sixth volunteer induction of 2016.

We are blessed with many volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and on average over 100 every single week.
