We celebrate our 150 year history this year and we couldn’t do so much without our incredible team of staff, volunteers and supporters.
This Wednesday we hold our third volunteer induction evening of 2023.
The volunteer age for inductions is now from 16 years and up and we have opportunities in all parts of our activities here at the GSPCA.
From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, over 100 hedgehogs to over 30 reptiles, gardening to helping on reception.
This coming Wednesday the GSPCA will be holding another volunteer induction evening from 630pm for those wanting to support our work.
Steve said “It is wonderful to meet new volunteers and this Wednesday we hold our next GSPCA Volunteer Induction Evening.”
“With our next volunteer induction evening taking place on Wednesday 23rd November at 630pm, more dates being set in 2023 and many other ways to get involved easier if interested all you need to do is come along or get in touch.”
We are extremely busy at the GSPCA and we are calling any of our amazing volunteers with any time to help, as well as looking for those that would like to join the GSPCA team to help.
From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, nearly 100 hedgehogs to ferrets, gardening to helping on reception.
All trained volunteers need to do is pop in and the team will have plenty for you to do and a huge thanks in advance.
Earlier this month we held our annual #GSPCAPurpleWeek which this year celebrated 147 years of the GSPCA helping animals in Guernsey.
During our anniversary event we held our second Volunteer Induction of 2020 and greeted 18 new faces keen to help us at the GSPCA.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Training and Community Officer was on hand to greet and meet the new helpers wanting to help in a variety of ways and made them comfortable in one of our training rooms.
This week we celebrate 147 years of volunteers helping animals in Guernsey with our #GSPCAPurpleWeek and this evening we hold our second volunteer induction evening at 630pm.
This week 147 years ago a group of volunteers came together to create the GSPCA and all these years later we continue to help the animals of the Bailiwick.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “This evening we hold our second volunteer induction of 2020 and it starts at 630pm.”
“All are welcome but to help with the animals on site you must be 13 or over, for those younger they can help at our events.”
On Thursday we hold our 13th Volunteer Induction of 2019 having inducted 152 volunteers through this years events.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We cannot achieve so much without the incredible volunteers and team we have here at the GSPCA and with a busy Christmas ahead we need a huge amount of help to care for the 500+ animals at the GSPCA.”
“Some may have a few hours Christmas day, Boxing Day or even New Years day from walking dogs to cleaning out cats there is always loads to do here at the GSPCA.”
Last night the GSPCA greeted a packed room of new and willing volunteers.
From 13 years and up there were 15 interested in helping volunteer in aid of their Duke of Edinburgh Award and 7 volunteers keen to help with our Charity Shop, with the animals, admin, reception, cake baking and fund raising.
This was our 11th Volunteer Induction of 2019 and takes the numbers inducted through these events this year to an amazing 133 new volunteers some which help every week and others that help occasionally.
Tuesday 9th July we hold our seventh volunteer induction evening of 2019 at 630pm.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “So far this year we have inducted 77 new volunteers through the induction evenings we have held during 2019 and many more inducted for various other placements and group days.”
"Last year through the volunteer inductions we greeted and trained 189 volunteers not to mention 100's more through other placements, voluntourists and groups."
