From this weekend to next we are extremely busy at the GSPCA and we are calling any of our amazing volunteers with any time to help.
From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, over 100 hedgehogs to over 30 reptiles, gardening to helping on reception.
Not to mention our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday which takes place on the 11th September where we will need volunteers from 7am in the morning to 6pm in the evening and if you can help please email [email protected]
All trained volunteers need to do is pop in and the team will have plenty for you to do and a huge thanks in advance.
For those that would like to become a volunteer please download and return the following application form to [email protected] and we can arrange a remote induction or we do have on site inductions coming up, here are links to the form -

Next Induction date set is:
630pm Thursday 29th September 2022
The volunteer age for inductions is now from 16 years and up and we have opportunities in all parts of our activities here at the GSPCA.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The team at the GSPCA have had a real challenging summer and it continues into September with so many full departments from the cattery to wildlife, kennels to small animals and we are appealing or our current volunteers and those wanting to help to get in touch.”
“For current volunteers especially dog walkers any time over the coming weeks would be a real help to those that can help at our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday on the 11th September please do let us know if you have any time at all.”
“We also have vacancies if anyone is interested in working for the GSPCA and packs are in this write up and online.”
