After the huge success of the Puffin Parade held last year which raised over £140,000 between the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey both charities are delighted to announce they will be working together once again and in 2025 bringing to Guernsey the Dolphin Parade.
Both the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey do vital work for our community and animals and with the Puffin Parade raising so much as well as being a huge amount of fun, in 2025 islanders and visitors alike will be treated to a Parade of Dolphins.
Over the years the GSPCA has helped dolphins that have been stranded the most famous of which was Fortune who stayed in Beaucette Marina for a period of rehab.
Dolphins are often a favourite and much loved animal and with so many in and around our waters what nicer an animal could both charities bring for the 2025 Parade.
Both charities will be contacting those involved in the 2023 Puffin Parade shortly, but we would be delighted to hear from anyone wanting to sponsor a Dolphin or any budding artists wishing to decorate them as well as anyone wanting to get involved in helping with anything from the transport to the IT, sponsorship to a venue for the auction, in fact in anyway you think you can help.
If you are interested in helping please email [email protected] or call 01481 257261
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Last year the Puffin Parade which was run by the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey was a massive success thanks to the amazing support by all involved.”
“Behind the scenes we have been looking at our next joint event and we are delighted to announce that we will be teaming up once again and in 2025 we will be holding a Dolphin Parade.”
“Like the Puffin Parade and similar events in previous years we will be looking for sponsors for the giant Dolphin statues and artists to paint them as well as locations to place them, help with the hunt app, website, raffle, auction location and much more.”
“We will be contacting those amazing supporters who helped with the Puffin Parade and would love to hear from those keen to help with next years BIG event.”
“The Puffin Parade raised an incredible £140,000 between both the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey and was a huge amount of fun and we continue to love seeing the Puffins featured all around Guernsey.”
“To help and get involved please email me [email protected] .”
Andrew Sparks Autism Guernsey Director said “The Puffin Parade was an incredible event that raised much needed funds for both the GSPCA and Autism Guernsey and we are so excited that both charities who do so much for the community will be joining up again to bring the Dolphin Parade to Guernsey in 2025.”
“We cannot thank everyone enough that helped with the Puffin Parade and we would love to hear from anyone keen to help and support the Dolphin Parade.”
