After more than 2 years the GSPCA has the first Volunteer Induction Evening planned on Thursday 26th May at the GSPCA in St Andrews starting at 630pm.
The volunteer age from this induction will be from 16 years and up and we have opportunities in all parts of our activities here at the GSPCA.
The evening will start with introductions followed by an induction into our work, the opportunities and cover all aspects of health and safety to enable the new volunteers to understand the operations and what we do at the GSPCA.
Each new volunteer will be asked to complete the following form on r before attending and Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager will then chat to each attendee about the next steps. To download the form please click here

We need volunteers to help us with this unit and if you would like to help please complete a form below and return it to the Shelter.

Gardening & Grounds Work - We have a lovely rural site that we always need help to care for.
Maintenance & Painting - Many of our buildings have been standing for some time and need TLC.
Fostering / Hand Rearing - The main animals we hand rear at the GSPCA are young birds and hoglets. We do on occasions look for foster homes for pet animals and please follow this link to see our Fostering page http://www.gspca.org.gg/services/fostering-scheme

We are asking volunteers to complete the application form with the days and times they are available so we can rota them in to help in the various work that we do.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are excited to announce that not only are we holding our first Volunteer Induction Evening since the 12th February 2020, but we are also lowering the volunteer age at the GSPCA to 1 years of age.”
“We changed the process for volunteering during covid and as we increase volunteer numbers back at the GSPCA we are looking forward hearing from all those 16 and over wanting to help.”
“We have a huge array of roles and opportunities and especially keen to hear from those wanting to walk and help in our kennels whether it be for a few hours or full days each week.”
“Volunteering is an amazing experience which has so many benefits from helping the animals and our work to improving your CV, meeting new people to learning new skills.”
“So the date for the first Volunteer Induction Evening is Thursday 26th May at 630pm.”
“No need to register, just pop along and they normally take around 90 minutes or so to find out all about us and have a chat, depending on numbers.”
“For more information you can call 257261 or email me [email protected] .”
“Without our team and volunteers we couldn’t do so much for the animals of Guernsey and our community.”
"We also love to hear from those that can offer specific skills or their team at their group or business."
“We will look to set other dates later in the year.”
“There are many ways to get involved and to find out just a few ideas check out this link http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/how-your-business-can-help-gspca-corporate-sponsorship or as mentioned contact me [email protected] .”
