Tonight the winners will be announced for the Guernsey Awards for Achievement Specsavers Unsung Hero as well as many other awards.
We are all very excitied as one of our longest serving members of staff is a finalist for the Guernsey Awards for Achievement Specsavers Unsung Hero.
For over 20 years Geoff George has been a massive part of the GSPCA and at the heart of much of the work we carry out 24/7.
From saving animals lives to providing around the clock care, saving cats from trees to helping owners with their escaped dogs, hand feeding hedgehogs to fund raising, having a little fun to taking work very seriously, helping with cruelty cases to getting dogs out of hot cars, helping walk dogs to washing oiled birds, walking 40 miles around Guernsey to manning a stall in the rain, going for a Christmas day dip to answering the phone, covering night duties to helping on his days off, climbing cliffs to showing volunteers what to do.
Geoff is loved by the team at the GSPCA and we all wish him luck in tonights awards and no matter the result to us he is a true hero helping animals and their families around the clock.
