The GSPCA has experienced many challenges in recent years and next month the AGM will celebrate our 150 year history and our plans for the future.

This AGM is 136th since being founded on the 14th February 1873 and with new build plans and our 150 year celebrations there is so much going on - https://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-celebrating-150-years

GSPCA Annual Membership Subscriptions of £10 for 2023 is now due for those that haven’t paid and you can become a member on the evening of the AGM.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On Thursday 20^th July we will be holding our 136th AGM at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews during our 150^th year.”

“With our 150 year celebrations we have been very busy and with major builds and plans there is a huge amount going on.”

“Our last AGM we launched our new strategy, values and vision and work 24/7 to do all we can inline with this our mission statement and objectives .”

“The challenges in animal welfare we now face are very different to those we faced in 1873 and each year we help over 3000 animals through our doors and many more around Guernsey.”

“There will be a small selection of drinks and nibbles available on arrival and we are looking forward to a night of celebrations and launch of the new designs for our much needed Wildlife Hospital.”

“We will be honouring many of our team and supporters and we are so thankful to all that ensure we carry out our 24/7 work.”

“We are also adopting new rules which are updated to fit inline with the new laws that have come into place in Guernsey.”
