Last night the GSPCA welcomed 17 new volunteers into the team.
Sarah Creasey GSPCA Welfare & Education Officer and Sarah Ozanne Animal Care Assistant welcomed the group of new volunteers.
On what was a cold and dark evening new faces started arriving just after 6pm ready for the 6.30 start.
The two Sarah's gave a presentation on what we do at the GSPCA, how they can help and an induction in our rules and working safely for the GSPCA.
On Friday 23rd October a team of staff from Credit Suisse gave up a day in the office to help out at the GSPCA.
We were pleased to welcome back Credit Suisse staff to help at the Shelter. Both last and this year many of their team have spent a day helping out at the GSPCA and we are extremely grateful for all of their help and support.
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.
From school placements to those looking to help out for a few hours each week those attending wanted to help from on the front desk to cleaning the animals out.
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.
Our next Volunteer Induction Evening at the GSPCA is on Wednesday 14th October at 6.30pm.
All ages are welcome, but to help on site with the animals you have to be 14 years old or over.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal care Assistant said "We have a wonderful team of volunteers that help us at the GSPCA and we always love to welcome those wanting to help."
"From gardening to answering the phone there is a job to help in many different ways on and off the Animal Shelter."
Last night we welcomed enough new faces to the GSPCA to set up a rugby team with reserves.
With 20 attending and 12 all signed up with a date to start volunteering at the GSPCA and others to be confirmed we have already started the first three this morning.
The new volunteers during their induction learnt about the work of the Shelter and how to become involved with our 24 hour 7 day a week work.
This morning Phil, Jane and Lili have already experienced cleaning out and caring for the many animals at the Shelter with many others starting over the next few days.
Last Friday a team of 25 staff from Specsavers spent the afternoon helping paint around the site at the GSPCA.
The staff were the third group from Specsavers to help this year at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Our next Volunteer Induction Evenings at the GSPCA are on Wednesday 9th and 30th September at 6.30pm.
All ages are welcome, but to help on site with the animals you have to be 14 years old or over.
