The GSPCA have had many challenges in 2023 such as the recent storms, but we have also had some amazing support.

During 2023 we have been the chosen charity for the Chamber of Commerce which has come with amazing benefits.

All year they have displayed banners at their office in the Market Building and hosted goods for sale.

We have had the opportunity to talk at events and even fund raise at last months gala dinner and we are hugely grateful for all of their support.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It has been wonderful to have us at the GSPCA as the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce chosen charity for 2023 in what is our 150th year.”

“From talking at a Chamber lunch to attending many of their wonderful events we have been able to promote our work and meet so many fantastic people.”

“Last month we were able to talk and fund raise at the Chamber Gala Dinner where we raised an incredible £2,200 and thank you to all that donated.”

“If you or your business would like to support our work please do call me on 257261 or email [email protected] .”

“There are many ways to support our work such as our 150th Year Ball on Saturday 10th February we are still looking for some sponsors and also have a few tables left so a great way to get your business supporting our 24/7 work.”

“Also for those from those want to give CSR time and skills to those wanting to help sponsor or support something from our Wish List http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list .” .”
