The GSPCA couldn’t do so much without incredibly kind islanders, businesses and supporters.

This week the GSPCA were invited along to Duquemin & Ozanne for an incredibly kind donation.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Yesterday I popped along to the team at Duquemin & Ozanne who moved into their new premises in the Summer.”

“It was lovely to see the new shop and displays and meet the team at Duquemin & Ozanne.”

“The team at Duquemin & Ozanne made a donation of an incredible £2,375 which they raised doing all sorts of fund raisers from cake sales to golf days and from all at the GSPCA a massive thank you.”

“With our BIG BUILD to the daily running costs caring for 1000’s of animals every year every penny really makes a huge difference to our 24/7 work.”

Martyn Duquemin from Duquemin & Ozanne wrote on his linkedin profile ‘We are thrilled to have presented a cheque for £2,375 to Steve Byrne, General Manager of the Guernsey Gspca, today!

This incredible amount was raised through generous donations from our customers at various events held throughout the year. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed—your support made this possible!

We extend our best wishes to Steve and his remarkable team at the GSPCA. Your dedication to the community and the welfare of our animals is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work!

Steve continued “With over 3000 animals through our doors each year we have seen an incredibly busy and difficult year and it would be amazing if we could have a bumper Christmas of kindness.”

“There are a huge range of ways to support our work this Christmas and we have popped a page together with a few ideas.”

“From sponsoring a pen as a gift to a Christmas Jumper Mufti day we have lots of ideas to support our work and the animals in our care.”

“We have wish lists so you could be treats for the animals in our care to Christmas gifts for them to open Christmas day.”

“Our BIGGEST wish is the BIG BUILD which we are excited to say we are in negotiations with a building firm and you can Buy a Brick to sponsor a room.”

“Many businesses might be thinking of a charity to support in 2025 and anyone wanting to support our work please do get in touch.”
