A great Taste at the first Seafront Sunday - thank you to all involved

Submitted by Steve on 15:13, 3rd May, 2016 | 0

A huge thank you to all that supported our stall Taste of Guernsey Seafront Sunday.

This weekend was the first of the Seafront Sundays and saw over 4000 visitors off a cruise liner which made for a very busy day.

Once again we set up just outside Marks and Spencer with all of our fun games, tombolas and a few goods on sale.

We raised over £800 and our stall proved very busy throughout the day which saw quite some sunshine.

Olivia needs your help to get her home - loggerhead turtlle donation & plane appeal

Submitted by Steve on 12:23, 3rd May, 2016 | 0

Olivia needs your help.

Two months on and Olivia the loggerhead turtle that was found extremely close to death when she was rescued on Vazon has come to a point where she is now ready to take the next big step.

When she was found she could hardly move as she was so cold, hungry, dehydrated and weak. She is now swimming well and we now need to find her transportation to the Canary Islands.

The next big step for Olivia is to get her back to a warmer climate and a rescue centre with experience to finish her rehabilitation.

Bonnie the grey seal pup who was rescued on the 16th January has been through a long rehabilitation and we are now in the final stretch. To achieve this we are offering the chance to see her being released to one lucky person.

When rescued she was close to death being extremely thin and having a number of debilitating health conditions.

After 3 months of treatment and care we are now trying to get the final fattening pounds on her to ensure she is ready for the wild.

Finding each animal a loving new home can often prove challenging as the hundreds in need that come through the doors may well have health issues, behaviour problems or even brought through no fault of their own.

From strays to road traffic accidents, lost cats to cats with welfare issues we help over a 1000 cats each year and help between 100 and 200 find a new home.

Some cats have health issues or behaviour problems and can be with us for many months with one cat taking over 2 years before a loving new home was found.
