Last week the GSPCA had a very special visitor.
Phoebe West at just 11 years of age during lock down wanted to do something to help animals and the GSPCA saw set up her own vedge hedge stall selling painted pebbles.
She raised combined with some of her own pocket money an amazing £160.
Last week Phoebe popped along to the GSPCA to meet Manager Steve Byrne.
Sally West, Phoebe’s mum said “Thank you very much for Phoebe’s goody bag, she was delighted with everything.”
Phoebe said “I wanted to raise money during lockdown and chose the GSPCA because I wanted to help the animals.”
“I go to Blanchelande School and I am 11 years old.”
“I love to dance and cuddle my two cats, Alfie and Sydney - Alfie came from the GSPCA!”
“I enjoyed painting the pebbles during lockdown as it kept me busy and I love art.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “A huge thank you to 11 year old Phoebe from Blanchelande who raised an amazing £160 during lock down for the many animals in our care.”
“At such a young age to do something that makes such a difference during such an incredibly difficult time is truly amazing.”
“With running costs of £2000 a day raising the funds to keep the Shelter going is a daily challenge and without kind supporters we could not carry out our around the clock work.”
“During the lock down we launched our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal .”
“We have had some amazing donations towards this much needed appeal and if you would like to donate you can do so by calling 01481 257261, by post or online via our web page https://giving.gg/donate/event/5876/GSPCA-Coronavirus-Emergency-Appeal .”
“Another great way to supporting is by donating each month and to find out details please visit this web page http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf .”
“Without your support the GSPCA couldn’t achieve so much caring and helping over 3000 animals every year.”
“We thank everyone for their support and understanding.”
“Even though we are in Phase 5 these are still truly incredible difficult days for the GSPCA, as it is for many charities.”
“Hero’s like Phoebe help make a real difference and we cannot thank them and you enough for all of your support.”
Donations by post please make cheques payable to 'GSPCA’ and post to GSPCA, Rue des Truchots, St Andrews, Guernsey, GY6 8UD.
