The GSPCA would like to extend a huge thanks to Condor Ferries this #GSPCAPurpleWeek for their support in funding to help us with housing while we carry out our BIG BUILD.
Through its Community Fund, Condor has helped fund the housing about to be used to house the many hedgehogs and wild animals in our care as w need to knock down the old facilities to make way for a much needed new Wildlife Hospital as well as other facilities.
Steve Byrne, the GSPCA Manager and all the GSPCA team are hugely grateful.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Every day sick and injured wild animals are rescued and brought into the GSPCA.”
“Many of these have life threatening ailments and we also help hugge numbers of hedgehogs to wild birds and many of the facilities are many years old and beyond repair so we are about to embark on our BIG BUILD which includes a new Wildlife Hospital and to find out more check out https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/gspca-biggest-build-appeal .”
“With this in mind we have a game of chess on site as we demolish the old buildings and make space for the animals that will still need our care so we have been looking for funding and support to help us enable temporary facilities and Condor Ferries have kindly helped funding these along with other kind supporters.”
“We have a number of new structures to help with caring for wildlife and especially the 100’s of hedgehogs we help every year and there are many to thank that have helped with these in providing them and the infrastructure needed not least Condor Ferries.”
“We are so grateful to Condor for their support and all they do to help us, animals and our community, especially during this very important week we call #GSPCAPurpleWeek .’
Condor Ferries recently wrote on their website ‘Following a donation from our Community Fund, the GSPCA now has some brand-new hedgehog houses. These cosy little shelters help rescued hedgehogs recover in comfort before heading back into the wild. They need a little help, so we were thrilled to provide these stylish new digs. Thank you to Steve and his team at the GSPCA for their amazing work.@

“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 .”
