Guernsey

Around the clock volunteers in Guernsey are helping animals whether at the GSPCA or other animal charities.

Every single night of the year a volunteer helps ensure that at the GSPCA we can provide around the clock emergency cover.

The volunteers that make up this fantastic group come from all walks of the community and help ensure every night between 6pm until 8am the next someone can go out to rescue an animal in need.

Matt Hill-Smith and Jen Bradshaw are two of our volunteer wardens and help cover on average two nights a week.

On Sunday at Fairfields we held our annual Summer Fayre and Dog Show.

With the sun shining the GSPCA would like to than k all involved and that supported what turned out to be a fantastic day.

GSPCA staff and volunteers were aided by a 20+ strong team of Barclays staff and some of their family members with organising and running their days.

Today is the second day we have a team of volunteers from the Lloyds Banking Group helping out at the Shelter.

Only 2 days to get your entries in for the GSPCA Hedgehog Competition.

Sarah Ozanne Animal Care Assistant said 'We've had some fantastic entries for our GSPCA Hedgehog Competitions but we would love to see a few more.'

'We have a hedgehog awareness poster competition and one for making a hedgehog home.'

'You have until Friday to get your entries in and we will be announcing the winners soon as well as a date when we will be running a hedgehog talk.'

The GSPCA would like to apologise for a technical fault experienced on Saturday night during our out of hours service.

We had a number of reports Saturday evening that the 24 hour emergency helpline number was not being answered between approximately 7pm and 10pm.

When we were made aware that the divert to the on call warden had an issue it was changed as there appeared to be a fault.

Today we are looking at businesses that help animals in Guernsey.

Yesterday we talked about Hayley Malpas one of many very special volunteers here at the GSPCA Animal Shelter.

The GSPCA has been helping animals in Guernsey for over 141 years and from the moment the organisation was formed volunteers have been vital in ensuring that the organisation is able to help animals around the clock, 365 days of the year.

With only two days to go to the GSPCA Summer Fayre and Fun Dog Show we are pleased to announce that our BBQ

The GSPCA couldn’t carry out saving, rescuing and caring for the thousands of animals that come through the doors every year without the support of the staff and volunteers that work tirelessly every day and night.

To recognise the team at the GSPCA we have been asking for nominations to recognise the staff and volunteers for their dedication, hard work and outstanding effort.

Nominations were accepted both in house, online and via the post and we received an overwhelming number of wonderful comments for five staff in particular and fifteen volunteers each quarter.
