Last Wednesday we had our second Volunteer Induction Evening which was even more popular than the first.
With 24 in attendance and 18 wanting to sign up as volunteers the GSPCA welcomed the group into the family.
From those wanting to help muck out to those wanting to fund raise they arrived and were welcomed at the Shelter before having a presentation and talk about the work we carry out as well as an Induction to enable them to work safely at the Shelter and during our events.
After the presentation Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager spoke to each of those interested to find out what they would like to do and arrange a start date.
Everyone received an Induction pack and 6 of those that attended have already carried out their first day.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'It was another lovely evening with so many enthusiastic new volunteers.'
'There is so much to be done both at the Shelter and off site from caring for the animals to the many events and fund raisers we have.'
'We have already set a date for the next one and that is Wednesday 3rd September at 6.30pm.'
'We'd like to thank everyone for coming along and we hope everyone enjoys helping in their new roles which is very much appreciated.'
Pamela Le Cheminant who spent her first morning volunteering on Monday at the Shelter said 'I Have just finished my first day as a volunteer working with Annie in the hedgehog building and I really enjoyed it.
