At the GSPCA we are currently appealing for volunteers to help in a few specific roles.

Over the summer months we have many fund raisers coming up and we are at many of the major events.

Next week we have a fun games stall all week in Market Square from Monday 21st to Saturday 26th July and we would love it if we could find helpers and volunteers to give a hand.

Each day we are in St Peter Port between 9am and 4pm and if you can help please get in touch.

TEN members of staff from the Medical Specialist Group gave up a sunny Saturday this weekend to undertake voluntary work at the GSPCA.

The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a huge variety of duties that need to be completed on a daily basis and so are very grateful when islanders volunteer to give them a hand.

As well as the obvious chores of feeding and exercising animals and cleaning out the kennels and cattery, there are also a number of site-maintenance jobs.
