Last Friday as part of their Service to the Community Day 22 students and 2 teachers from Blanchelande College spent the day at the GSPCA Animal Shelter.

From running a Coffee Morning to Cake Sale, Bric-a-brac Sale to walking dogs, cleaning out the seal room to washing out pools, and not to mention a very important job.......Blanchelande College students helping at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in Guernsey

The students helped in many areas and one of the most important was helping in some early preparations for the GSPCA's BIGGEST event of the year.

On the 15th September the second Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday takes place and the students were helping sort the Giant Animal Mascot Suits in preparation and also get them into training.

This year to take part in the Giant Animal Mascot Activity Race it is a minimum sponsorship of £50 and for this not only do you get to take part in the race, but also 2 adverts in our quarterly newsletter, online and a being par of a fantastic event. 

There are a number of races we are planning including -

'From helping fold leaflets, walking dogs, sweeping and mopping, the great cakes and of course getting involved with some pictures and video clips of the Giant Animal Mascot Suits they all did a great job.'

'We finished the day awarding each one with a certificate of thanks and a few have arranged to come back as volunteers.'
