We recently released that following the incredible success of the Dolphin Discovery Trail in aid of the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey, that we are delighted to announce a rare opportunity to own one of four stunning dolphins from the trail and now a kind owner of another has donated it back to make five. These unique pieces of art are now available for online auction, with bidding open until midday on Friday 12th December 2026.

Each dolphin is a one-of-a-kind creation, decorated by talented local artists and sponsored by generous businesses. Bids start at £500, and all proceeds will support two amazing local charities this Christmas.

The Dolphins Available for Auction (bids as of 2nd December 2024) :

Three of these dolphins were kindly donated back to the charities, and two online pre-bids sadly fell through, creating this special chance to secure a piece of the trail.

To place a bid, email [email protected] . The online auction pages will be updated regularly with the latest bids at: https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/extra-dolphin-bid-dolphin-discovery-trail-%E2%80%93-auction-ends-12th-december-ideal-gift-christmas

Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager, said:
“We are delighted to update everyone on not only the latest bids, but also that we have another dolphin now available thanks to a kind donation from one of the owners.  Libby is the newest dolphin available and would make an incredible Christmas gift helping to support two great charities. he Dolphin Discovery Trail has been an incredible success, raising vital funds and bringing so much joy to our community. These five dolphins are truly special, and this auction is a fantastic way to support two charities that make a huge difference locally With Christmas around a corner what a great present one of these wonderful dolphins would make.”

Andrew Sparkes, Autism Guernsey Director, added:
“We are thrilled to offer this unique opportunity with an additional dolphin now available. With Christmas around the corner and just 10 days to bid one of these amazing dolphins would make a real special Christmas gift. Every bid helps us continue our work supporting individuals and families affected by autism in Guernsey. Thank you to everyone who has supported the trail so far – your generosity has been amazing.”
