The GSPCA helps care for and rescue thousands of animals every year and without our wonderful volunteers we really couldn't do it.

From cleaning kennels to fundraising there are dozens of roles for volunteers to help the GSPCA and next Wednesday we have our second Volunteer Welcome and Induction Evening.

With the success of the first last month which drew a crowd of 18 new volunteers to the Shelter the second is planned for 6.30pm on the 17th July.

The talk and short training session takes place at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews and includes an induction to enable new volunteers to work on site.

Although volunteers are required to be 14 years old or over those of a younger age are welcome and can find out how they can help with fund raising and other event activities.

There will be tea and coffee on the evening, as well as a chance after the talk to chat to Steve Byrne the GSPCA Manager after the induction which takes about an hour.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are always keen to welcome new volunteers to the GSPCA family and team and there are so many ways in which they can help.'

'One of our newest volunteers Andrew has just taken over with helping edit and put together our Newsletter to Sami that helps out with the animals.'

'We have volunteers from those in school to those looking to fill their retirement years.'

'There really is something for everyone and we are looking for volunteers to help in all areas of the Shelter and our work.'

'Some roles we would love to fill are additional Night Wardens, Gardening, helping at many of our Summer events, but there are plenty of others from helping muck out to exercising and socialising those in our care.'

'For anyone interested please pop along on Wednesday as we'd love to meet you.'
