Next week marks Volunteers Week a time when many organisations and groups highlight the opportunities and thank their volunteers for their amazing support and time across Guernsey and the UK.
The GSPCA couldn't achieve all of the work that is carried our 24/7 without the 600+ volunteers that help at the Shelter and with all of our work across Guernsey.
Next Wednesday during Volunteers Week we will be holding our sixth volunteer induction of 2016.
We are blessed with many volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and on average over 100 every single week.
Often our volunteer inductions fill the room where we hold them and this week we held the 5th induction of 2016.
On Tuesday we greeted 4 new volunteers which made for a lovely group to talk to at the Shelter in St Andrews.
The volunteer induction was given by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne which started just after 6.30pm.
The new volunteers found out about the work at the GSPCA and how to help safely.
A pack was handed to each and also a certificate of attendance and thanks.
On Saturday 7 volunteers from the Medical Specialist Group (MSG) spent the day helping at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
With a busy few weeks ahead of the Animal Shelter with Spring and many fund raisers from all of our team and animals we would like to thank the MSG staff for all of their help.
On Tuesday 3rd May we hold our fifth volunteer induction of 2016.
We are blessed with over 600 volunteers helping the GSPCA every year and on average over 100 every single week.
