On Friday a team of staff from Credit Suisse gave up a day in the office to help out at the GSPCA.
We were pleased to welcome back Credit Suisse staff to help at the Shelter. Last year many of their team also gave up a day to help out at the GSPCA and we are extremely grateful for all of their help and support.
The group of 3 staff arrived just after 9am where they had a short induction with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and then helped the team around the Shelter after a quick picture in the GSPCA reception area with puppy Molly.
Although very wet and windy on Friday Helen McWilliam, Kelly Roulliard and Tina Hiddelston helped in the many departments around the Animal Shelter and cared for many of the animals.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "It was wonderful to meet Helen, Kelly and Tina from Credit Suisseon Friday and they were a great help and really enjoyed their day."
"After a day helping around the Shelter we then took them on a tour before they went home to show them some of the areas they may have missed and presented them with a thank you certificate and even showed them the new build and our future plans."
"We always love to hear from businesses that would like to help or support us and you can call 257261 for more details, check out our website or email me on [email protected]."
"A huge thank you to the team from Credit Suisse who were a great help."
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Credit Suisse are fantastic and from all at the GSPCA we really have to thank them for all of their support this year."
"The staff from Credit Suisse last week helped with everything from deep cleaning the hedgehog unit to moving our ferret accommodation around."
"It wasn't all just animal related work as we had lots of equipment that needed moving and even an old fence needed to be taken down."
"At the end of each of the days we took the groups for a guided tour and presented them with a thank you certificate and newsletter."
"We love hearing from businesses that would like to help or support us in any way from volunteering to sponsoring an event or wish list item and please do give me a call if you would like to know more."
