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.

The Wardens are volunteers that go out all hours to help sick, injured and stray animals and are part of a team that has spanned nearly 50 years in providing and filling this volunteer role.

From rescuing animals stuck up chimneys to rounding up stray farm animals the Wardens are truly incredible and even get calls for snakes that turn out to be a geocache.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are truly blessed with such a phenomenal team of volunteers and supporters at the GSPCA.”

“This week is Volunteers Week and we could not do all that we do without them.””You can apply at any time to be a volunteer and it is really easy just visit the online application form.””

“We have never been so busy as we have been in current years and with the new builds to meeting every day demands we are currently recruiting for additional team members at the GSPCA from staff to volunteers.”

“The volunteer age for inductions is now from 16 years and up and we have opportunities in all parts of our activities here at the GSPCA.”

“From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, over 100 hedgehogs to over 30 reptiles, gardening to helping on reception.”

“As well as volunteers we are looking to recruit those keen to help animals, make a difference and support our community and start a career in animal care at the GSPCA.”

“Every day we help save lives and support our community in a vast array of ways as we have done for 150 years.”

“With Spring time well and truly upon us it is very busy with baby birds and other young animals arriving at the GSPCA.”
