The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) is proud to announce a landmark moment in its 152-year history as part of the ongoing #GSPCABiggestBuildAppeal.
In a private ceremony by invitation only, the GSPCA will lay the cornerstone of first brick laid of its new Wildlife Hospital on the foundations which have now been completed—an essential step in the charity’s most ambitious construction project to date.
The GSPCA is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the #GSPCABiggestBuildAppeal—all buildings have now been demolished to make way for the exciting redevelopment of the St Andrews Animal Shelter.
Work is now underway on the Wildlife Hospital, with concrete being poured into the newly excavated foundations. This marks a major step forward in the project, which aims to transform the shelter into a modern, sustainable facility for animals and the community.
World Animal Day is celebrated each year on October 4. It started in Florence, Italy in 1931 at a convention of ecologists. On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated, and special events are planned on locations all over the globe. 4 October was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment. Numerous churches throughout the world observe the Sunday closest to 4 October with a Blessing for the Animals.
Earlier this month many of the GSPCA team and supporters took part in the Saffery Rotary Walk.
