Today is #WorldWildlifeDay and with over 2000 wild animals through the GSPCA doors every year we need your support with our proposed new Wildlife Hospital which recently received planning permission.

This much needed facility is planned to replace a number of old buildings some which date back to the 1940’s.

Last year the GSPCA launched a fundraising campaign for the facility and now the planning has been granted the fundraising for the facility is a major priority.

With just over £50,000 pledged or raised currently there is still a long way to the £900,000 required to build the GSPCA Wildlife Hospital.

There are a number of ways you can help donate to this much needed project –

We have yet to go to tender for the build which is the next step to get exact costs but for those wanting to help in much larger ways here are the estimated costs for some of the facilities that make up the £900,000 –

  • Glazing to whole build £50-60,000
  • Each rehabilitation room £40,000
  • Central feed kitchen £35,000
  • Each marine rehabilitation room and access to pool £30,000
  • Rehabilitation Pool – to be confirmed
  • Rehabilitation aviaries/pens - £15-20,000 each
  • Receiving office where the public can drop animals off and they can be admitted and entered into the system - £25-30,000

With 6 seals currently at the GSPCA and over 100 hedgehogs, not to mention many other injured birds and wild rabbits you would think the GSPCA is extremely busy and you would be correct.

Saying this Spring is fast approaching and that means the numbers of animals to come into the care of the Shelter is increasing daily.

The new Wildlife Hospital will help house the 2000+ wildlife that come through the GSPCA doors each year and with our environment a major concern a facility that would help benefit future generations.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Today is #WorldWildlifeDay and at the GSPCA we have over 2000 wild animals through our doors at the GSPCA every year.”

“With 6 seal pups, over 100 hedgehogs, many wild birds and a wild baby bunny our facilities are always full with Guernsey wildlife that are found sick or injured.”

“There are many ways to support our Wildlife Hospital from a donation to buying a brick.”

“If anyone would like to know more or support our wildlife hospital in any way please do give us a call on 257261 or email [email protected] .”
