Last month the GSPCA ran the 14th and final volunteer induction of 2017 and in total inducted and trained over 300 new volunteers and helpers through the year from Corporate Social Responsibility days to individuals that help each week.
The GSPCA have planned out the dates for 2018 and the first takes place at 6.30pm on Wednesday 10th January 2018 at the GSPCA in St Andrews.
The induction will take place with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who will greet the new volunteers and then show a video about who we are, what we do, the ways volunteers can help and an induction of how to help safely to all the new volunteers who need to be aged from 13 years upwards to help with the animals on site.
Although volunteering at the Animal Shelter starts at 13 for those under 13 they are always welcome to attend and get involved with events and fund raising. 2018 has already got many events planned with our stall being at the Guernsey Health Show next week.
At the end of the induction Steve will chat to all there to set dates and times to start and all will given a certificate of attendance and a pack of information including a hand book.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "It is amazing that every month we meet and train new volunteers at the GSPCA from those looking to help long term to those maybe with just a few hours now and again.”
“We have over 800 volunteers and helpers trained and see over 120 each week which is truly incredible and we appreciate every single one that helps.”
“With over 500 animals at the GSPCA working 24/7 there is something for everyone from fund raising to walking the dogs.”
“The first volunteer induction of 2018 will take place at the Shelter at 630pm on Wednesday 10th January.”
