All of the team are really going to miss Rachele Nolan who has been an amazing part of the team for the last 4 months.
Since March this year Rachele has been helping all day Monday to Friday and even a few weekends at the GSPCA.
Rachele has been visiting family here in Guernsey but during her visit she wanted to volunteer out at the Animal Shelter so after her induction she started back in March and ever since has been a huge help to the team and hundreds of animals in our care.
On Wednesday the GSPCA welcomed 12 new volunteers wanting to help animals and the Shelter in Guernsey.
Seb, Mya, Charlotte, Catherine, Daniel, Gillian, Daffy, Bryony, Sue, Andrea, Vivien and James arrived at 630pm where they were greeted by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne.
The induction took just over 90 minutes as Steve talked to the group about our work, how each can volunteer and working safely for the GSPCA.
At the end of the training each were presented with a certificate and had a chat with Steve to set a date to start.
On the 27th and 29th April a team from State Street joined the GSPCA to help out and renew fences in desperate need.
The area contains the rehabilitation aviaries and is used to help birds of prey, baby birds, gulls, hedgehogs and more to rehabilitate as well as the occasional poultry or duck.
Not only did the team from State Street repair and put up the fences they donated the funds to enable the essential work to take place.
Last month a young man and a young lady interested in an animal care career spent a week experiencing work and helping out at the GSPCA.
Charles Allen and Bethany Shackcloth from Les Beaucamps High spent a four long shifts working with the team at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Where as many of their fellow students were carrying out work experience 9am to 5pm, Charles and Bethany although only worked a 4 day week their shifts were much longer being from 8am in the morning until 6pm at night as the staff at the GSPCA have to work long days to care for the animals.
On Thursday evening the GSPCA held a volunteer induction and greeted 11 new faces wanting to help out at the Animal Shelter and 24/7 work that is carried out.
Those present were interested in helping with dog walking to reception, cat pen cleaning to helping with the wildlife, fund raising to volunteering to gain experience for their CV, Duke of Edinburgh and some to help gain life skills.
