Kemp & Co Staff Support the GSPCA with a Corporate Social Responsibility Volunteer Day
The GSPCA was delighted to welcome four staff members from Kemp & Co who generously gave a full day out of the office to volunteer at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
The team arrived at 9am, where they were warmly greeted by Tim Pellett, GSPCA Community and Training Officer. Before starting their activities, Tim captured a lovely photograph of the group outside the front of the Shelter on what turned out to be a beautifully sunny day.
During their visit, the Kemp & Co volunteers carried out a variety of helpful tasks, including:
- Exercising the dogs and helping with other animal departments
- Helping tidy the Memorial Garden
- Assisting staff with general duties across the site
Their enthusiasm, teamwork, and willingness to get stuck in made a real difference to the animals and the charity’s busy daily operations.
Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager said
“We are extremely grateful to the wonderful team from Kemp & Co for giving up their time to support the GSPCA. Days like this make such a difference, not only to our staff but especially to the animals in our care. Their positive attitude, kindness, and hard work were truly appreciated.
Corporate volunteering is incredibly important to us, particularly as we continue working on the #GSPCABiggestBuildAppeal. From sponsoring areas of the new development to supporting our events and activities, there are so many meaningful ways businesses can get involved. A huge thank you to Kemp & Co for helping us on such a lovely sunny day.”
Words from Tim Pellett, GSPCA Community & Training Officer
“It was fantastic to welcome the Kemp & Co team for their CSR day. They were a joy to work with and made a real impact in just a few hours. We always love meeting businesses who want to give back to the community, and volunteering days are a brilliant way to do exactly that.
We have lots of opportunities coming up, including our Seafront Sunday on 3rd May, as well as chances to sponsor areas of our new Wildlife Hospital and other facilities through the #GSPCABiggestBuildAppeal . Anyone keen to get involved is always welcome to get in touch.”
