GSPCA

Yesterday we joined the Taste Guernsey Seafront Sunday with our stall to raise funds for the animals in Guernsey.

It was the second Taste Guernsey Seafront Sunday and the third of 2015.

We set up at 8am and before the day could even start the road was full of tourists and locals enjoying the lovely weather and the many stalls and entertainment.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Thank you again to Taste Guernsey for allowing us to join them for their Seafront Sunday yesterday where we managed to raise over £600 to help animals in Guernsey."

Over the Spring at the GSPCA we have redecorated our reception area thanks to our team and some wonderful donations.

KPMG when they moved offices kindly donated a selection of office equipment and their reception desk now greets you here at the GSPCA which has replaced our old desk.

Thanks to Carpet Solutions who donated new vinyl we have been able to replace the old flooring in reception and E & G Carpet Fitters helped to lay it with our team in assistance preparing the old floor.

On Friday we were invited along to Amherst School Fete.

We arrived just after 4pm ready for the 6pm opening and had a lovely night raising funds on our stall to help animals in Guernsey.

We had many winners to the many games we took along and also lots of interest in our resident tortoise.

Over £400 was raised and a huge thank you to all that supported and the school and PTA for letting us take part.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We had a lovely evening at the Amherst School Fete on Friday and raised over £400 which is fantastic."

On Friday we asked for name ideas for 19 budgies and 6 baby bunnies that were coming in to the GSPCA Animal Shelter. 

We decided to call the new budgies - Brandi Pansy, Carl Sweetpea, Clemantis Harding, Gary Lotus, Iris McQuillan, Isla Honeysuckle, James Jasmine, Jenny Petunia, Jess Dahlia, John Rose, Kay Camellia, Laura Carnation, Lilly Wilkinson, Poppy Cathcart, Rob Bluebell, Shuan Zinnia, Sophia Orchid, Tamara Daisy and Tulip Huston.

Can you spot the theme?

If you're out and about why not pop by to Le Viaër Marchi on Monday.

We will be setting up from 4pm for a 6pm start.

Held on the first Monday of July (in any year), Le Viaër Marchi is a colourful and widely anticipated annual event in Guernsey’s calendar and continues to be the Guernsey National Trust’s greatest fundraiser.

If you're out and about why not pop by the Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday tomorrow.

We will be setting up from 8am for a 10am start and it is their second Seafront Sunday of 2015 and the third of the year.

The GSPCA have a stall at every Seafront Sunday this year and don't forget our BIG DAY on September 13th.

This month we are lucky enough to be nominated for the green token Community Matters box at the Waitrose store in Admiral Park.

By placing a token in the Community Matters box at your local branch you’re helping your community and if you choose the slot for the GSPCA helping animals in Guernsey.

Our next Volunteer Induction Evening at the GSPCA is on Monday 6th July at 6.30pm.

All ages are welcome, but to help on site with the animals you have to be 14 years old or over.

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal care Assistant said "We have a wonderful team of volunteers that help us at the GSPCA and we always love to welcome those wanting to help."

"From gardening to answering the phone there is a job to help in many different ways on and off the Animal Shelter."

On Tuesday 14th July the GSPCA have their next fun bingo evening of 2015.

To celebrate Bastille Day the next event has a French theme.

As always fancy dress is optional and we have some great themed prizes for the evening.

As always children are welcome.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We have bingo nights planned each month at the Market Bistro with the next one has a French theme to celebrate Bastille Day on Tuesday 14th July and please call 257261 or book your tickets through our website."

On Sunday the monthly charity bingo event held at the Royal British Legion in L'Islet was in aid of the GSPCA.

The GSPCA are hugely grateful to everyone involved and especially Maureen and Carole two of the organisors.

We must also say a massive thank you to those that donated towards the 90 lots of raffle prizes which were handed out on the night, each with a GSPCA bug toy.
