Last night we held our sixth volunteer induction of 2018 which took place during National Volunteers Week.

The induction will took place with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who greeted the 5 new volunteers with a few of their friends.

The group learnt all about who we are, what we do, the ways volunteers can help and an induction of how to help safely.

Although volunteering at the Animal Shelter starts at 13 for those under 13 they are always welcome to attend and get involved with events and fund raising.  We have a huge number of events over the summer and we are always looking for help.

We have now trained 81 new volunteers in 2018 through our induction evenings and more than 20 others with volunteer days.

At the end of the induction Steve talked to all attending to set dates and times to start, and all were given a certificate of attendance and a pack of information including a hand book.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was great to meet the 5 ladies that attended our Volunteer Induction last night.”

“There were two keen to start their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award volunteering at the GSPCA this Sunday, one will start her work experience soon and two others keen to help volunteer and start later this month.”

“We are hugely grateful to the amazing 120 volunteers that help every week and the more than 800 that help us in so many ways through the year.”

“It is currently Volunteers Week and we see so many volunteers help in so many ways and tomorrow we welcome Volunteer Tourists often called ‘Voluntourists’ from the Crystal Cruise liner which is something we have been doing for nearly 5 years.”

“Volunteers help around the clock 24/7 and when we were founded 145 years ago it was thanks to volunteers that met to create the GSPCA to help the animals and community of Guernsey.”

“From the GSPCA a huge thank you to every person that volunteers or helps us in any way from popping a donation in a collection box to helping night warden every week.”
