Thank you to the young men selling paper planes to help animals in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 22:44, 11th Apr, 2017 | 0

Last week two young lads came to visit the GSPCA.

The reason for the visit was that they had raised £16.40 to help the animals at the GSPCA.

The two young men had a ‘paper sale’ and sold paper planes, paper crackers, paper dogs and fortune tellers for the GSPCA.

They were selling them for 10p each which meant a lot of work to help raise the £16.40 in one afternoon.

A huge thank you to Toby (5) and Oliver (8) who came in with the donation and also to their friends Harry (9) and Jimmy (8) who all go to Vale Primary School.

New charity shop team appeal for help for a new floor in our onsite GSPCA Charity Shop

Submitted by Steve on 10:52, 28th Mar, 2017 | 0

The on-site GSPCA Charity Shop has this month welcomed three new faces who will be helping to run the on site shop to raise much needed funds for the hundreds of animals in our care and the thousands we help each year.

We are currently appealing for a kind company to help put a floor into the shop area which has currently got bare concrete.

We are looking at options of vinyl tiles as we allow dogs to visit the shop and appealing for either a floor company to help or a kind donation to help floor our shop.
