The GSPCA who is a member of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH) and animal rescues across the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey really need your support as each struggles through the coronavirus crisis to raise funds and care for tens thousands of animals.
The ADCH is a membership organisation made up of 150 charities across these jurisdictions and with a further 1,050 animal charities the ADCH Coronavirus Emergency Appeal has been launched to help those charities in most need.
While you #PetorateToCelebrate you can support these amazing organisations working 24/7 to help animals in your community. You can really help make a huge difference to those most in need by promoting or donating to the ADCH Coronavirus Emergency Appeal https://www.adch.org.uk/donate/ or by supporting your local animal charity.
Your local ADCH member in Guernsey is the GSPCA and we have our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal which you can donate online by visiting – https://giving.gg/donate/event/5876/GSPCA-Coronavirus-Emergency-Appeal or check out their website for many other amazing ways to support their vital work – www.gspca.org.gg
Steve Byrne ADCH Trustee & GSPCA Manager said “There is only a week to go to join in with #PetorateToCelebrate.”
“This is a great fun way to show your support to animal charities during these very difficult times.”
“With animal charity staff and volunteers working around the clock across the country caring for tens of thousands of animals they really need your support and this is a fun way to show how much you care for animals in rescue.”
“The ADCH have launched the ADCH Coronavirus Emergency Appeal to help those charities in most need and we welcome all donations to this urgent appeal but equally we really want you to support our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisAppeal here in Guernsey.”
“We are seeing displays across the British Isles and Ireland highlighting the work of animal rescue and that animal charities need support during these times.”
Lorna Chadwick GSPCA Animal Welfare Manager and ADCH said “With only a week to go until the end of June we really want Guernsey to #PetorateToCelebrate animals in Guernsey.”
“We all need a bit of fun brought to the windows and gardens of our homes as are now in phase 5 we really want you to celebrate and decorate your windows and gardens with your toy animals, animal ornaments or drawings to promote the work of the GSPCA and other animal charities that are working 24/7 helping those in need.”
“With fund raisers having been cancelled, shops been closed and so few animals boarding, raising the £2000 a day to run the GSPCA has become a huge challenge during these difficult days.”
“#PetorateToCelebrate is a great way for those that love animals so much to promote the work of the GSPCA and other animal charities across the British Isles and show your support from your own home.”
Steve continued “When you have your garden, window or car decorated we want to see you pictures on our GSPCA facebook page to enter our #PetoratetoCelebrate competition.”
“The best of these we will send to the ADCH to chose a National winner.”
“#PetorateToCelebrate is all about raising awareness of animal charities in need, having some fun and spreading the important message that animal charities are in desperate need of your support.”
“We really need your support in Guernsey with our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal and nationally the ADCH Coronaviurs Crisis Appeal is helping animal charities that are in most need.”
“During a time while nearly every animal rescue has its doors closed to the public due to Covid-19 restrictions this is a great way to show your support to animals in rescue and you could not only help animals in our care you will be helping save animal rescues in need.”
“The idea has been shared with members across the ADCH and many are excited to get involved so we are hoping thousands of homes will get involved, have some fun and show support to the many animal charities working 24/7.”
“Whether your display is up for a few hours or the whole of June we really hope you will help us to Petorate to Celebrate.”
“To find out other ways you can help us here at the GSPCA please visit our website www.gspca.org.gg or call us on 01481 257261.”
“So please help us celebrate being in phase 5 with #PetoratetoCelebrate for the animals and for our community.”
Beckie Bailey GSPCA Animal Care Assistant “We are really excited to be getting involved with #PetorateToDecorate at the Shelter and in our own homes and we are really looking forward to seeing everyone’s displays.”
“It doesn’t cost you anything to get involved but all donations are really appreciated to our appeal to help all of the animals we help at the GSPCA.”
