We have incredible support thanks to our amazing team of volunteers and so many groups and companies that volunteer to help the GSPCA and the vast range of work we carry out 24/7.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “This evenings Volunteer Induction Evening we welcomed 7 new volunteers who are starting over the coming weeks, months and one next year and we were delighted to meet them all.”
“We are so lucky to have over 800 volunteers help us every year from individuals to groups and businesses and we couldn’t do so much without all that help and are part of our fabulous team.”
Did you know the GSPCA are looking for a Volunteer Warden?
For the last 50 years we have had an incredible team of volunteers that help ensure our Animal Ambulance is manned between 6pm and 8am 7 days a week.
We are currently recruiting for an Animal Ambulance Wardens and if you are interested please call 25721, pop in or email [email protected] .
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The GSPCA really could not do so much without its amazing team of volunteers and supporters which have helped today for 151 years.”
“From the Committee to those that walk dogs, fund raisers to those that help with admin, gardeners to those helping with IT, the companies who send their staff to help to so many others the list goes on and on.”
“With the GSPCA providing 24/7 we couldn’t do so much without our amazing team.”
“In recent years with all the challenges our volunteers have really been on the frontline and especially our GSPCA Animal Ambulance Wardens and we cannot thank them enough.”
“The Wardens are volunteers that go out all hours to help sick, injured and stray animals and are part of a team that has spanned nearly 50 years in providing and filling this volunteer role.”
“From rescuing animals stuck up chimneys to rounding up stray farm animals the Wardens are truly incredible and even get calls for snakes that turn out to be a geocache.”
“We are currently looking for a volunteer to help cover our Animal Ambulance as a Warden.”
“There is training and support involved and you do need to be able to drive.”
“If interested do please get in touch as we’d love to hear from you.”
“There are many ways you can help volunteer and the next Volunteer Induction Evening is Tuesday 12th June and is open to all, but volunteers do need to be 16 or over to help at the Animal Shelter, but as mentioned please get in touch if you can help sooner.”
“If you would like to help sooner please complete an online volunteer application form through this link https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=gspca&method=online_form_html&formid=14 and you could be helping within a few days.”
