The Guernsey North Show and Guernsey Battle of Flowers, is held in August each year and this year it takes place on 26th and 27th August.

We would like to thank the Lions Club of Guernsey and all involved for another well run and great Donkey Derby.

GSPCA staff and volunteers Steve Byrne, Hayley James, Joseph Fox and Ellie Fox spent Saturday afternoon in Saumarez Park raising funds for the animals in Guernsey.

The stall was set up in the sunshine and the weather managed to hold for the afternoon where we raised in excess of £500.

We would like to thank everyone involved, helped and supported what was a lovely afternoon.

Once again on Sunday at the GSPCA we joined the Taste Guernsey Seafront Sunday with a stall to raise funds for the animals in Guernsey.

A very special exclusive surprise for a lucky ladies birthday

Submitted by Steve on 15:34, 1st Aug, 2015 | 0

At the GSPCA during the term holidays we run guided tours, but on Thursday we ran an exclusive surprise experience planned by a very loving husband.

A number of weeks ago, in secret Art Allen had been in touch with the GSPCA to arrange a surprise for his wife who was celebrating a milestone birthday and taking retirement from full time work.

Mid morning on Thursday Art Allen arrived at the GSPCA with his wife Jean who had no idea why she had come to the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
