At the GSPCA we provide an essential service to animals in need and the community. With the heightened risk of Covid-19 we are taking steps to reduce risk to our team and visitors by postponing all non-essential events until further advice is given.
Sadly this does means that all room hire, volunteer inductions, first aid courses, dog training, educational talks, educational visits, events run by the GSPCA are being postponed until further notice.
In relation to Coronavirus - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or Covid-19 the GSPCA is closely following the advice from the States of Guernsey - https://www.gov.gg/coronavirus and taking proactive measures to reduce risk as far is reasonably practicable.
We are asking all visitors to the GSPCA to ensure the States of Guernsey advice is followed and we have hand washing and sanitising dispensers throughout the site to help with good hygiene practice. We ask if your visit is nonessential and can be postponed or can be resolved by calling 01481 257261 or emailing [email protected] it would be very much appreciated as we have a team with a wide range of ages.
If anyone would like a refund or be put on a list for rescheduling any booked event or room hire please do get in touch.
We would also further advise any GSPCA team members with any concerns to please follow the States of Guernsey advice.
