We are always looking for volunteers to help us at the GSPCA and we are especially looking for volunteer wardens.

We have provided a 24 hour rescue service for over 40 years and we couldn't do this without our wonderful team of volunteers.

Our Volunteer Wardens help ensure between 6pm and 8am 7 days a week any rescues, collections of strays or other emergencies are responded to.

We are looking for additional volunteers to help provide both the night cover and to help on Saturday and Sunday between 8am and 6pm.
