Submitted by Steve on 17:55, 9th Mar, 2021 | 0

Lockdown 2 has seen so many caring islanders supporting so many good causes and helping one another.

One of these wonderful individuals is Liz Quentin.  Liz has made and sold an incredible 197 face masks in aid of the GSPCA to help raise funds towards our 24/7 work and care of the many animals at the GSPCA.

You might have seen Liz’s recent facebook thanks where she said “That’s 197 masks made and sold in the last 3 weeks, £659.80 raised less the costs of £77.00 so £582.80 donated to the GSPCA, Guernsey SPCA .”

“Thank you all for your purchases and donations.”

Long Shredded Paper, Blanket and Towel Appeal at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 17:03, 9th Mar, 2021 | 0

As Guernsey has gone through 7 weeks of our second lockdown many incoming donations have been affected, not just financially.

At the GSPCA we are currently appealing for long shredded paper for the hedgehog bedding and with over 140 in our care we have a lot to look after.

Normally with offices working and many in the work place we would have a great supply but with most people working from home we have not had our normal supplies and we are in need of long (not cross) shredded paper.

Each year the GSPCA helps in excess of 2000 wild animals and birds through our doors at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

Last year we saw a record breaking number of hedgehogs with over 700 through our doors and we currently have over 140 in our care and with Spring fast approaching we will soon see hoglets being born.

We are already helping fledglings and baby birds like Dave the duckling who is doing well.
