Jen Bradshaw said ‘As many of you know I am not a runner. Not even a jogger.  Therefore taking part in the London marathon is a huge challenge for me.  Also as part of this I have given up smoking also. It’s a lifestyle change, not just a physical challenge, mental too.

My aim is to complete the marathon, not fast and it certainly won’t be graceful!

GSPCA Purple Month – Record numbers of hedgehogs at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 13:10, 17th Feb, 2023 | 0

Not only do we celebrate 150 years and GSPCA Purple Month along with record breaking numbers of hedgehogs we also have a record number of hedgehogs.

At the GSPCA we currently have recently had up to 152 hedgehogs in our care.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Many may think its Winter but with the weather almost over 5 degrees Celsius it is far too warm for hedgehogs to hibernate in the Channel Islands so many of our spiky friends struggle through the damp, wet months.”

“That means many our found thin, poorly and in very poor condition and require rescuing and care.”
