Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It is incredible the range of sponsored events people undertake to raise funds for our work at the GSPCA.”
“We have recently had the lovely story from Anaëlle and Maëlie who are just 8 and 10 years old.”
“We are incredibly grateful to both Anaëlle and Maëlie for undertaking such a kind act which not only raised an amazing £175 for the GSPCA, it will have helped save the lives of wildlife by removing rubbish from our coastline and helped the environment as a whole, all while making it a prettier place for us all to enjoy.”
“Below is the a little letter from Anaëlle and also one from a very proud Mum.”
‘Hello Steve, it's Anaëlle Saunal. I am 8 years old and I love animals.
We were having chips on the beach one evening and there were some people near us and when they left, they left lots of rubbish, like cans and wrappers and it made me feel a bit upset that they weren't looking after our environment and that if it went into the sea, that some of the animals would get poisoned and choke, or even die.
So me and my sister Maëlie who is 10 decided to clean the beach that evening, and thought that if we did it on lots of beaches, we would be helping to save the environment. We decided to each raise money for charity and do a beach clean every day in our half term. It was hard work and sometimes hot, but I felt really proud to see the difference. My little sister Céleste also helped us some days.
Maëlie chose Southampton children's hospital because she had an operation there and I decided to support the GSPCA because I really, really, really love animals, and I want to help all the animals I can. I know that the GSPCA helps lots of hurt animals and saves them from bad things. My dream is to be a vet one day, and I'd like to help the GSPCA when I am older.
I have got 2 cats, a boy and a girl, called Nala and Wilbur. Nala doesn't really like being picked up, but Wilbur does and stays in my arms for ages like a big baby.
I go to Amherst Primary school and I am in year 3.
I think people should help the GSPCA because then you could save the lives of loads of animals and pay for the medicines and food to make them better.
I hope you can help the animals with the money people gave me.
Love from Anaëlle’
We also got a lovely note from Anaëlles Mum -
‘Hi, its Anaëlle's mum,
I am so proud of her and her sister Maëlie, giving up their time during half term, keeping our beaches clean, and raising money for their respective charities. It was all their own idea, and they worked so hard. Anaëlle loves animals, so was so pleased to be able to support the GSPCA.
Thanks so much for getting in touch- I have included some photos of the girls on their beach clean. (Anaëlle is on the left in the first 2 photos, and her sister Maëlie is on the right. The final picture is of Anaëlle with Wilbur)
Many thanks,
Corinne Saunal’
Steve continued “There are many ways you can help support our vital 24/7 work and donate or raise funds for the hundreds of animals in our care.”
“With over 65 hedgehogs, 4 seal pups, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, fish, reptiles and many birds we help over 3000 animals through the doors every year.”
“If you would like to support our Amazon Wish List and see lists of items that we use every day and things that we are appealing for.”
“If would like to help with wish list items you can call us on 01481 25721 or email [email protected] or the easy way to see many items we are in need is by going to our Amazon Wish List https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList .”
“We do promote buying items locally but shopping online can help raise funds at the same time as if you select the GSPCA through easy fund raising part of the amount through 1000’s of online retailers comes back to the GSPCA and it has raised over £2500.”
“To sign up to do this please visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/guernseyspca/?u=1CHID8 .”
“Sadly Amazon Smile doesn’t allow Guernsey charities to sign up but you can go through easy fund raising to achieve the same donation.”
“As mentioned you can always chose to donate via local stores and the Amazon Wish List is a shop front showing some of the items we need but there are many others and we have published these on our Wish List page http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list .”
“A gift of a tiny bowl costing less than a £1 to a £600 intensive care unit, every donation is hugely appreciated and really makes the team smile that there are those that care and want to support our work.”
“Another amazing way to support our work is by just a couple of pounds each month can make a massive difference in helping the animals in our care and to find out more please go to http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf .”
