Last Wednesday the GSPCA greeted 22 new volunteers to the team.
The induction took place at the GSPCA in St Andrews at 6.30pm and the room was overflowing with those wanting to help out in many ways.
The induction took place with GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who greeted the new volunteers and then played a video about who we are, what we do, the ways volunteers can help and an induction of how to help safely.
Steve then handed out a certificate and booklets to each that attended and spoke to each new volunteer setting a start date and talking to them about how they would like to get involved.
The volunteers were all aged from 13 years upwards with 6 interested in helping through their Duke of Edinburgh and 16 volunteers wanting to help in a variety of ways.
Although volunteering at the Animal Shelter starts at 13 for those under 13 they are always welcome to attend and get involved with events and fund raising. 2018 has already got many events planned.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "It was incredible to see so many new volunteers last Wednesday at our first volunteer induction of 2018.”
“We have over 800 volunteers and helpers trained and see over 120 each week which is truly amazing and we appreciate every single one that helps.”
“With over 500 animals at the GSPCA working 24/7 there is something for everyone from fund raising to walking the dogs.”
“Our next volunteer induction of 2018 will take place at the Shelter during GSPCA Purple Week at 630pm on Thursday 8th February.”
