All this year at the GSPCA we have been celebrating 150 years - https://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-celebrating-150-year
As part of the celebrations we have held a range of events and last night was the final animal first aid course of 2023.
For over a decade we have been running dog and cat first aid courses which help teach owners and pet lovers how to save the life of their pet or animal.
The next GSPCA Dog and Cat First Aid Courses will take place in 2024.
On Wednesday the GSPCA once again welcomed Dementia Friendly Guernsey.
Dementia Friendly Guernsey wants to encourage as many people as possible to take a local dementia awareness course and the GSPCA team attended a session of training thanks to Julie Bulpitt from Dementia Friendly Guernsey here at the GSPCA.
