Last night we held our 12th volunteer induction at the GSPCA and greeted new volunteers keen to help at the GSPCA adding to the 134 inducted this year taking this years inducted volunteers to a total of 140 not including others that have helped from businesses, groups and other organisations.
The induction took place with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne talking to the group about who we are, what we do, the ways volunteers can help and an induction of how to help safely to all the new volunteers who were aged from 13 years upwards.
Although volunteering at the Animal Shelter starts at 13 for those under 13 they are always welcome to attend and get involved with events and fund raising and we have a number helping this weekend for our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
4 of the new volunteers are starting their Duke of Edinburgh placements at the Shelter over the next two weekends, Nathan who started volunteering this morning and Julia starting next week.
At the end of the induction all were given a certificate of attendance and a pack of information including a hand book and arrange a start date with Steve.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "A warm welcome and thanks for coming from all at the GSPCA to Emily, Brad, Ella, Ellen, Nathan and Julia who came along to our volunteer induction last night."
“Nathan has already started his first day this morning and has been learning from and helping the team.”
"We hold regular volunteer inductions for those interested in getting involved with the next set for Monday 9th October at 6.30pm."
"Every week we see over 120 volunteers and they help us cover the 24/7 work we carry out 365 days a year, but with over 550 animals in our care there is plenty to do and we are always keen to get those interested involved with the work we do helping thousands of animals every year in Guernsey."
"We regularly see in excess of 50 Duke of Edinburgh placements each week as well as many on back to work schemes, students and other placements from a variety of organisations and we are always happy to help where we can and really appreciate the support for the work we carry out 24/7."
The upcoming volunteer inductions are set for -
Volunteer induction evening Monday 9th October 630pm
Volunteer induction evening Monday 13th November 630pm
Volunteer induction evening Monday 11th December 630pm
