On Monday we welcomed new volunteers to the GSPCA in the sunshine.
We set up seats next to the GSPCA pond where 20 new volunteers of all ages arrived to learn about the work of the Shelter and become involved with our 24 hour 7 day a week work.
From work experience to Duke of Edinburgh, administration volunteers to those wanting to help with the animals, the first one started on Tuesday and many are starting this weekend.
Thank you to all that came along and we are looking forward to getting everyone involved.
Our next Volunteer Induction Evening at the GSPCA is on Monday 6th July at 6.30pm.
All ages are welcome, but to help on site with the animals you have to be 14 years old or over.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal care Assistant said "We have a wonderful team of volunteers that help us at the GSPCA and we always love to welcome those wanting to help."
"From gardening to answering the phone there is a job to help in many different ways on and off the Animal Shelter."
At the GSPCA we care for between 200 and 300 animals at any time and work 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Without volunteers we couldn't carry out the vital animal welfare work and on Wednesday we are holding our next volunteer induction evening at 6.30pm.
We are currently looking to find volunteers that can help in all areas and especially help us cover the ambulance work which we have carried out as a 24 hour service for over 40 years.
Last night at the GSPCA we welcomed 15 new volunteers to the team.
Shortly after 6pm eager new faces started to arrive to learn about the GSPCA and how to get involved.
GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne was on hand to meet and greet the group who came from all walks of life.
The group were given an induction on about the GSPCA and the different volunteer roles.
A talk on working safely at the GSPCA was followed by a calendar of upcoming GSPCA events.
Whenever we receive positive feedback about a staff member or volunteer, and also when the team nominate someone at the GSPCA we award them with a certificate of appreciation and here are those for this Winter 2014/15 quarter -
