Yesterday a team of 7 HSBC Private Bank staff spent the day helping out at the GSPCA.

The group arrived just after 9am where they were greeted by Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer who after a quick safety briefing got them off to work around the site helping clean, tidy, garden and care for the many animals at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

All of the HSBC Private Bank staff were an amazing help and from all of the GSPCA a huge thank you to them for all they did.

Update on Andrew the Jersey seal pup at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 15:50, 13th Nov, 2018 | 0

Last week Andrew the Jersey Grey Seal Pup was rescued and transported to the GSPCA.

At only 17kgs and less than a week old this very pretty young seal pup should have still been with his mum and not in the emaciated condition as he was found.

Andrew has a very bad chest infection and desperately underweight and has been receiving care around the clock day and night.

This lunch time the youngest grey seal pup to arrive at the GSPCA in many years arrived from Jersey.

Andrew as the pup has been named still has his white fluffy coat which is lost at 14 days of age, making him around 7-12 days old and at only 17kg he is painfully thin.

New marine mammal medic Martine Venton-Heys who helped with the rescue in Jersey yesterday accompanied Andrew who is being shown around the GSPCA while she waits for her flight back to Jersey thanks to Blue Island who helped provide the transport needed.
