Thank you to The Travel Corporation staff who helped at the GSPCA with a mountain of donations to puppy play time

Submitted by Steve on 23:07, 21st Oct, 2015 | 0

Today 6 staff from The Travel Corporation joined the team at the GSPCA and gave up a day in the office to help out.

The team of staff  arrived at 9am where they received a short induction before helping around site with the 300 animals at the Shelter in St Andrews and a mountain of donations.

A number of the group were versed in helping at the GSPCA after helping last and earlier this year so had a grasp on many of the roles but all were surprised with what they got to do.

On Wednesday we had 14 new faces attend the Shelter for a Volunteer Induction and to find out how they can help.

The evening started at 6.30pm and GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne not only talked of the work of the Shelter, he also went through an induction so all knew how to work and help safely at the GSPCA.
