Yesterday the Vauvert Reception class got an opportunity to see behind the scenes at the GSPCA Animal Shelter.

Sarah Creasey the Animal Welfare and Education Officer showed the group around the facilities and talked to them about the work we do.

From hedgehogs to guillemots, rabbits to cats the children learnt how the Shelter helps care for thousands of animals every year.

The GSPCA feels that education in animal care is extremely important and the children certainly enjoyed their time at the Shelter.

Sarah Creasey said 'The children really enjoyed their time at the Shelter and we get to talk about the importance of animal care.'

'I got to show Vauvert Reception around in two groups.'

'Whilst one saw behind the scenes the others did activities in our event room.'

'If any school or group would like a tour or talk from the GSPCA they can call me on 01481 257261 or there is loads of information on our web page.'
