After the huge success of the Puffin Parade held in 2023 which raised over £140,000 between the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey both charities are delighted to be working together once again in 2025 to bring to Guernsey the Dolphin Discovery Trail 2025.
Both the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey do vital work within our community. Events such as the 2023 Puffin Parade not only raise valuable funds but provide a huge amount of fun for islanders and visitors alike. This year’s Dolphins Trail promises to be both memorable and spectacular.
Islanders will have heard of the financial challenges faced by both charities. as Autism Guernsey. has recently become aware that one of its major donors will be withdrawing its support by the end of the year. The GSPCA is looking to build much needed new facilities. This event will not only be a celebration of the achievements of two vital charities, but also a chance to support their work.
The sponsors and artists will be promoted during the upcoming weeks and months and we are looking to launch the Trail in the coming days…….
Over the years the GSPCA has helped dolphins that have been stranded, the most famous of which was Fortune who stayed in Beaucette Marina for a period of rehab.
Dolphins are highly intelligent and sensitive creatures, regular visitors to of our waters and universally loved - a fitting choice for the 2025 Parade.
There are many ways to support the Dolphin Discovery Trail and here is a few ideas –
- Help with the Treasure Hunt App
- Help with promotion
- Help with transport picking up and dropping off the dolphins
- Helping with dolphin merchandise to promote the event
- Running dolphin themed events
- Open to any ideas………
