Over the last two months students from the Guernsey College Access Course have been volunteering at the GSPCA.
Each week they have been giving up an afternoon in the classroom to attend the GSPCA to help with work around the Animal Shelter and care for the 500+ animals.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer said “The Guernsey College Access Course students have been a great help at the GSPCA.”
“From walking the dogs to feeding the many rabbits the Guernsey College Access Course have helped in many areas around the GSPCA.”

On the 19th October 3 staff from Man Fund Management (Guernsey) Limited attended the GSPCA to give up a day in the office to help with the work around the Shelter.
The day was started with a quick induction followed by a picture at the front of the GSPCA.
They were then put to work helping paint a container next to our Memorial Garden which was in desperate need of a spruce up.
