24 hours a day volunteers help the GSPCA team ensure we provide a 24/7 service and last week we held our fourth induction on 2018.
At the induction we welcomed 8 new volunteers 2 of which are undergoing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh.
The inductions run at the GSPCA ensure that each volunteer have an understanding on what the GSPCA is, what we do, how we work, how to safely work at the Shelter and at our events, the rules at the Shelter and each session finishes with an individual chat with a member of the team to arrange a start time and date.
Last week GSPCA Manager inducted the 8 new volunteers who some have already started with dog walking to helping on the reception desk.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was wonderful to meet the 8 new volunteers and induct them into the GSPCA last week.”
“Every month we hold an induction evening at the GSPCA and there are so many roles to help with.”
“From gardening to helping clean kennels, on reception to caring for the wildlife, covering our ambulance to fund raising the work is 24/7 365 days a year so no matter how little or much time you have there is something for everyone.”
“To help with the animals volunteers do have to be at least 13 years of age but we do have younger volunteers that help with fund raising events like our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday which takes place on the 20th May.”
“The next volunteer induction takes place at 630pm on May the 1st and all are welcome to attend at the GSPCA.”
“So far this year we have now inducted 54 new volunteers through our evening inductions and we look forward welcoming new faces next month.”
“We are really looking for volunteers to help with events and especially our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday on the 20th May as well as a number of other areas.”
Some of the areas we are really looking for volunteer help is –
Helping organise and administer volunteer information
Gardening
Reception
Ambulance Wardening
Guided Tours
Charity Shop
Events & Fund Raising
Publications, leaflets and Newsletters
Maintenance, Painting and Grounds Work
Animal care
