The GSPCA and all the team and animals would like to say a massive thank you to Yasemin Pates who recently held a raffle fund raiser in aid of the GSPCA and Guernsey welfare.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “What a wonderful message we had recently from Yas Pates.”

“She messaged to let us know we was running a fund raising raffle and what a great night it must have been with over 50 prizes and raising an incredible £1351 in aid of the GSPCA and Guernsey Welfare.”

“From the pictures it looked like a fabulous evening with amazing prizes.”

“A huge thanks to Yas for organising as well as to all those that donated prizes and of course that all took part and supported.”

“We always love to hear from those wanting to support our work and there are loads or ideas on our website www.gspca.org.gg or drop me an email [email protected] or give us a call 257261.”

“With our #GSPCABigBuildAppeasl to feeding the many animals in our care they are so many ways you can help us help the animals of Guernsey and our community.”

Yas Pates told us ‘I raised £1351 last night at the charity event I organised, this amount will be split between you and Guernsey welfare! Over 50 prizes were donated from local businesses that made it a very successful night. It was the first time I've organised an event and hoping to make even a bigger one next year!’
