On Saturday the 8th June as part of the Big Help Out and Volunteers Week the 6th Guernsey Scouts gave an afternoon to help around the GSPCA.
From gardening to painting over 20 volunteers from the 6th Guernsey Scouts were a huge help at the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We were delighted when Kayleigh from the 6th Guernsey Scouts contacted us to offer their volunteering time for the Big Help Out day and in Volunteers Week on Saturday 8th June 2024.”
The GSPCA really could do so much without its amazing team of volunteers and supporters.
From the Committee to those that walk dogs, fund raisers to those that help with admin, gardeners to those helping with IT, the companies who send their staff to help to so many others the list goes on and on.
With the GSPCA providing 24/7 we couldn’t do so much without our amazing team.
In recent years with all the challenges our volunteers have really been on the frontline and especially our GSPCA Animal Ambulance Wardens and we cannot thank them enough.
Since February 1873 the GSPCA has been run by a team of dedicated Committee Members who give up their time to lead the organisation.
We are incredibly lucky to have an amazing and skilled Board and recently the GSPCA having recently reviewed our strategy and future vision which can be seen on our about page - http://www.gspca.org.gg/about
Over the last 4 Thursdays the GSPCA have had a wonderful group of staff volunteering from The International Stock Exchange (TISE) each morning.
Each of the mornings 4 or 5 staff came along to help out around the GSPCA and especially helping with the Memorial Garden we have here at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer said “It was great to greet, meet and get the lovely team from TISE helping around the GSPCA over the last 4 weeks.”
As many people know we have been running our amazing dog training classes at the Shelter for over two decades during which time we have been VERY ‘fur’tunate (sorry) to have some wonderful volunteers dedicating their time and expertise to help us promote responsible dog ownership, welfare in dog training and, of course, help owners navigate their way through what can seem a mine field of owning and training a new pooch.
The GSPCA really could not do so much without its amazing team of volunteers and supporters.
From the Committee to those that walk dogs, fund raisers to those that help with admin, dog trainers to cattery cleaners, gardeners to those helping with IT, the companies who send their staff to help to so many others the list goes on and on.
The last 18 months has certainly been incredibly difficult and especially so for the GSPCA and providing our 24/7 services with all the bio-security rules in place, and many still as the team still work in many challenging circumstances.
On the 27th and 29th April a team from State Street joined the GSPCA to help out and renew fences in desperate need.
The area contains the rehabilitation aviaries and is used to help birds of prey, baby birds, gulls, hedgehogs and more to rehabilitate as well as the occasional poultry or duck.
Not only did the team from State Street repair and put up the fences they donated the funds to enable the essential work to take place.
On Thursday evening the GSPCA held a volunteer induction and greeted 11 new faces wanting to help out at the Animal Shelter and 24/7 work that is carried out.
Those present were interested in helping with dog walking to reception, cat pen cleaning to helping with the wildlife, fund raising to volunteering to gain experience for their CV, Duke of Edinburgh and some to help gain life skills.
