All of the team are really going to miss Rachele Nolan who has been an amazing part of the team for the last 4 months.

Since March this year Rachele has been helping all day Monday to Friday and even a few weekends at the GSPCA.

Rachele has been visiting family here in Guernsey but during her visit she wanted to volunteer out at the Animal Shelter so after her induction she started back in March and ever since has been a huge help to the team and hundreds of animals in our care.
