GSPCA

Just before Christmas the GSPCA received a wonderful selection of donations from Hautes Capelles Primary School.

Karen Fyfe Assistant Headteacher, Inclusion Lead and SENCo from Hautes Capelles Primary School said  “The pupils of Hautes Capelles Rights Respecting and pupil voice team asked the House teams to vote for which charities to support at Christmas.

The GSPCA wants to let all dog owners know that what we believe is Palm Oil spotted at Grand Rocque and Saline Bay which can be extremely poisonous to your dogs.

Last month the States of Guernsey reported on their facebook page ‘We've received a report that palm oil has washed up at Pembroke.

If you notice any grey, cream or white fatty substances, please do not remove the substance, but report it to Agriculture, Countryside and Land Management Services by emailing aclms@gov.gg or calling 01481 227000.

On Tuesday evening the 5^th Guernsey Cub troop visited the GSPCA.

Sadly it was dark and a little wet but the 36 strong troop made up ofCiubs and Leaders arrived at 630pm where they were greeted by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was lovely to meet the 5^th Guernsey Cub group on Tuesday.”

“They arrived baring of animal feed and treats and even other donations which we have to say a huge thank you for.”

Lucy and friends have decided to Race The Mile with the Sure Marathon to raise funds for the GSPCA because they love animals and wish all to be looked after. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

On the 21st May 2023 10am to 4pm the GSPCA will once again be organising a day to celebrate the animals in Guernsey and all the wonderful work that is done to care for them.

We celebrate our 150 year history this year and we couldn’t do so much without our incredible team of staff, volunteers and supporters.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have never been so busy as we have been in current years and with plans of new builds to meeting every day demands we are currently recruiting for additional team members at the GSPCA.”

“Sadly some of our fantastic staff  are off for new adventures and we are looking to recruit those keen to help animals, make a difference and support our community.”

The GSPCA would like to warn visitors that on Friday the 3^rd March 2023 we have essential repairs taking place in our main car park.

This will mean those using the back car park will likely be trapped if parked there before 8am until 11am when the work is completed.

We apologise for the disruption and endeavour to keep the challenges to a minimum.

Last year the Northern Trust spent two days volunteering at the GSPCA.

On the 15^th July 3 Northern Trust staff arrived at 9am to be greeted by Tim Pellett the GSPCA Training and Community Officer and at the North Show 3 further staff ehelped Steve Byrne and Lorna Prince on our stall.

Tim Pellett GSPCA Community and Training Officer said “Last year we welcomed 3 staff from Northern Trust who were fantastic volunteers helping around site from planting bulbs to caring for our Memorial Garden.”

The GSPCA are delighted that BNP Paribas is supporting the GSPCA in a number of ways as their chosen charity.

BNP Paribas have not only decorated their reception area next to the taxi rank in St Peter Port for our 150^th GSPCA Purple Month, they have also become an Exclusive Build Partner for our much needed Wildlife Hospital.

Julie Veillard Head of Business Administration & CSR, Channel Islands said “BNP Paribas is delighted to support the GSPCA with this very important and much needed facility.”

The last week of November GSPCA supporters Rachel and Dean took over the OSA Pop Up Shop in Smith Street to raise funds for the GSPCA.

Last June the GSPCA team helped rescue their cat Wobble after he had been involved with a road traffic accident.

Rachel said “We were in the OSA Pop up shop from the 28th November and chose GSPCA as our charity to donate to.” 

“We were so happy to help, especially after your invaluable services helping to get our poor little Wobble to the Vet after an RTA back in June, now he’s fully recovered!”
