Last week 4 staff from Northern Trust helped out around the GSPCA.
On Monday 10th July we had 4 of the amazing Northern Trust staff spend the day gardening and helping around the Shelter.
Over the previous four years 134 volunteers from Northern Trust have helped out at the GSPCA, with 38 staff helping in 2014 and a further 26 helping in 2015, 34 in 2016 and 16 in 2017, 48 in 2018 and with the 4 so far this year it takes the total to 166 and they have more days planned later this year.
The wonderful volunteers from Northern Trust helped with a large selection of gardening tasks and we cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We really cannot thank the team from Northern Trust enough, they were just amazing help last week.”
“They are truly amazing and we really, really do appreciate all of their wonderful support and help."
"Since 2014 Northern Trust have sent 166 staff to help at the GSPCA which is just incredible."
"We always love to hear from businesses that would like to help us help the animals and community of Guernsey and there are many ways getting involved from CSR programmes to sponsoring animals in our care."
"We can even run bespoke events such as guided tours for your team and their families."
"From all at the GSPCA a huge thank you to all at Northern Trust."
