This Monday at 630pm we have our 11th volunteer induction and invite all to come and join us to find out more about helping at the GSPCA.
This year alone we have inducted 132 new volunteers, placements and work through these inductions and are graced with an average 120 volunteers each week but with over 500 animals in our care there is always plenty to do.
All are welcome, although for those wanting to help onsite at the Shelter the minimum age is 13.
Tonight at 6.30pm we hold our tenth volunteer induction of 2018 and we have inducted through these alone 118 new volunteers, placements and work experience since the start of the year.
All are welcome to the induction although for those wanting to help onsite at the Shelter the minimum age is 13.
For volunteers under 13 we have a huge amount of events taking place which they can help at with a parent or guardian.
The GSPCA has had a great time at all of the Summer Shows and especially so at the West and North Show thanks to some amazing volunteers from Northern Trust.
On Wednesday 4 staff from Northern Trust helped on our stall at the West Show and 5 on the Thursday and at the North Show 4 helped on the Wednesday and an amazing 9 volunteers on the Thursday.
This month once again at the GSPCA we were lucky enough to have help from KPMG staff.
The team of 13 on the 9th August and the team of 8 on the 16th August staff from KPMG arrived at 9am where they were greeted by Tim Pellet the GSPCA Community and Training Officer and after a short induction were set to work around the site at the GSPCA.
Grounds at the GSPCA have been transformed over recent years and this week the GSPCA team of volunteers and groups that support our work have been busier than usual.
Yesterday we hosted the Floral Guernsey Judges Rae Beckwith and Alan Dorey who were visiting the site to see the work we carry out on our grounds for the community and conservation.
On Monday we held our seventh volunteer induction of 2018..
The induction will took place with GSPCA Animal Care Assistant Sarah langlois who greeted the 20 new volunteers with a few of their friends.
The group learnt all about who we are, what we do, the ways volunteers can help and an induction of how to help safely.
Although volunteering at the Animal Shelter starts at 13 for those under 13 they are always welcome to attend and get involved with events and fund raising. We have a huge number of events over the summer and we are always looking for help.
At the GSPCA we have many lovely areas that need caring for and we are currently appealing for volunteers to help around site.
From cutting the grass to helping care for our ponds, wedding to landscaping, pressure washing to dead heading flowers, planting to hedge cutting, watering to caring for pathes there is always plenty to do at the GSPCA.
Last month a team of 9 from Aurigny came along to the GSPCA to help all around the Shelter.
