The GSPCA has experienced many challenges in recent years and next month the AGM  will celebrate our 153 year history and our plans for the future.

This AGM is 138th since being founded on the 14th February 1873 and with new build well underway there is much to look forward to and celebrate from the last year.

GSPCA Annual Membership Subscriptions of £10 for 2026 is now due for those that haven’t paid and you can become a member on the evening of the AGM.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On Wednesday 22nd July we will be holding our 138th AGM at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews during our 153rd year soon.”

“Each AGM we focus on our strategy, values and vision, and work 24/7 to do all we can inline with this our mission statement and objectives .”

“The challenges in animal welfare we now face are very different to those we faced in 1873 and each year we help over 3000 animals through our doors and many more around Guernsey.”

“There will be a small selection of drinks and nibbles available on arrival and we are looking forward to a night of celebrations and update on news on the #GSPCABiggestBuildAppeal and the progress of the build which you will see on arrival.”

“We will be honouring many of our team and supporters and we are so thankful to all that ensure we carry out our 24/7 work.”
