GSPCA

Over the last month the GSPCA have been advertising the opportunity for Guernsey Election Candidates to visit the GSPCA to find out about the 24/7 work we carry out helping our community, animals and working with many of the States departments extremely closely.

Of the three events this week open for Candidates to visit only one has attended so additional dates have been set.

The GSPCA and Autism Guernsey are delighted to say that today the Dolphin Discovery Trail treasure hunt app has gone live.

After lots of testing you can visit Turfhunt as of now and if asked for a code use EADASD (see links below).

The app is completely free but donations are hugely welcomed and if anyone would like to be the sponsor of the app please do email [email protected]
