The GSPCA are always thankful to those that help raise funds for the Shelter no matter how small or large.
Recently GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne was invited along to the AFM office in St Sampsons to receive a donation that the staff had raised.
The staff at AFM have held a number of mufti or dress down days which raised a grand total of £100 which they have donated to the Animal Shelter.
Steve Byrne went along to be presented with the cheque from Karen Girdlestone the Business Development Manager at AFM.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We care for and rescue over 2000 animals a year and every penny makes a real difference.'
'There are many ways businesses, groups and individuals can support and fund raise for the GSPCA.'
'We are extremely grateful for the wonderful donation from the staff at AFM and it was great to get to see the team and their office in St Sampsons.'
'If anyone is interested in fund raising for the GSPCA there are lots of ideas on our website or please get in touch for a chat.'
'Not only do we need to raise over £2000 a day to ensure we can care for and rescue all of the animals at the Shelter 24 hours 7 days a week, but we are looking to redevelop and rebuild many of the blocks around our 4 acre site, many of which are over 50 years old.'
'Thank you to AFM and all that help support the Shelter we really appreciate it.'
